For the Honor of the Flag: a John Phillips Novel (War At Sea book 2)
“While most of the original crews were present, as well as all of the lower ranking passengers, Phillips was told the ship’s officers and some passengers had been taken aboard the third rates that had captured them originally. Phillips sent a midshipman or bosun’s mate to each prize to take command. The French prize crews were secured, while the ships original crews were freed, and put to work manning the ships.
Eventually, he ordered them to proceed into Gibraltar, and went back to check on... the corvette that had struck to him. Matters there had not proceeded as well.
When they neared the vessel, Mister Ranson pointed to her masthead. The tricolor floated above the British ensign. The Courageous stood higher than the Frenchman, and he could see Mullins and his crew lined up, their hands lashed behind them. One man lay still at their feet. “Mister Mullins, are you able to speak?” Phillips shouted.
He watched Mullins exchange a few words with his captors.MoreLess
