The order, abundance, and comfort about the place showed what industry and good management could effect in this country without slave-labour. But the surplus produce of such small plantations is very trifling. All we saw had been done since the disorders of 1835-6, during which John Trinidade was a great sufferer; he was obliged to fly, and the Mura Indians destroyed his house and plantations.
The `Captain' was instantly wore round, instead of tacking, according to a signal just then made by the admiral, and away after them we went, followed by the `Culloden, `Blenheim' and `Diadem. The `Captain' was in the rear of the British line; but by the manoeuvre just performed, we came up with the Spaniards, and in a short time we and the `Blenheim' were tooth and nail with no less than seven Spanish line-of-battle ships one, the `Santissima Trinidade, of 130 guns, and the `San Josef' and `Salvador del Mundo' of 112, the others being of 80 and 74-guns.
Our helm was then put up, and we fell aboard the `Redoubtable, while the `Temeraire, Captain Blackwood, ranged up on the other side of her, and another French ship got alongside the `Temeraire. There we were all four locked together, pounding away at each other, while with our larboard guns we were engaging the `Bucentaur, and now and then getting a shot at the big Spaniard, the `Santissima Trinidade. Meantime our other ships had each picked out one or more of the enemy, and were hotly engaged with them.
