Captain Keppel, in the Torbay, then attacked the Thesee, when a sudden squall coming on, the lower-deck ports of the latter ship not being closed, she filled and instantly sank. The Superbe shared a similar fate alongside of the Royal George. Lord Howe having got clear, bore down and attacked the Hero so furiously that he soon compelled her to strike.
I don't know what he meant; but there has been a tragedy in his life; all the world knows that. 'Then suddenly he took another tone, called me pauvre enfant, and apologised.
