Примечания на пятницу, 24 сентября 1779 года

Первая часть этих суток: слабый бриг(ов)ой ветер и ясная погода. В 2 часа пополудни отправили лоцманский баркас со вторым лейтенантом и несколькими вооруженными морскими пехотинцами в погоню за бригантиной, шедшей против ветра и левевшей под фор-марселем. В 3 часа пополудни увидали подветренный флот, среди которого, судя по всему, было два военных корабля; подали сигнал «Альянсу» начать преследование. В половине четвёртого пополудни выстрелили из пушки по баркасу, чтобы заставить баркас вернуться к нам; он увалился под ветер к нам, и в то же время мы легли на курс и начали преследование двух кораблей, находившихся с подветра от нас и казавшихся вооруженными военными кораблями. «Паллас» и бриг «Венджанс» также пустились в погоню. В 5 часов пополудни флот лёг в дрейф по направлению к берегу, а два вооруженных военных корабля легли в дрейф, готовые вступить с нами в бой; мы увалились под ветер, чтобы встретить их, и приготовили корабль к бою (все люди находились по своим боевым расписаниям). В 6 часов пополудни окликнули «Паллас» и приказали ей держаться у нас на корме; в половине седьмого пополудни подняли сигнал остальным кораблям эскадры выстроиться в кильватерную колонну, в то же время окликнули крупнейший корабль. Один из кораблей окликнул нас; были получены ответы не слишком важного свойства. Капитан корабля, который казался самым крупным, велел: скажи мне немедленно, откуда ты родом и кто ты такой, иначе я дам по тебе бортовой залп. Обнаружив, что это враг, мы разрядили в него бортовой залп, на который он ответил. Обменявшись тремя или четырьмя бортовыми залпами, сошлисьборт о борт, и в таком положении оба корабля оставались до конца боя. Привязали вражеский корабль к нашему; после того как мы провоевали около часа, подошел «Альянс» и дважды продольным залпом обстрелял нас; убил и ранил множество наших людей. Бой был настолько жарким, что оба корабля несколько раз загорались, и команды обоих кораблей тушили пожары с возможной поспешностью. Всё это время бой был чрезвычайно ожесточенным. Оба корабля вели плотный огонь из пушек и ручного стрелкового оружия. Незадолго до окончания боя увидели, что «Альянс» идет на нас, окликнули его и приказали немедленно взять врага на абордаж, но он ничего не ответил, прошел у нас на носу и обдал продольным залпом оба корабля. Когда враг запросил пощады, капитан Джонс сказал: тогда спускай свой флаг; что и было немедленно исполнено, и наши люди овладели им. Впоследствии, во время абордажа, она сделала три выстрела и ранила нескольких наших людей. Она сдалась нам в половине одиннадцатого вечера, в то же время мы отбросили корабль от себя, и как только мы оторвались от нее, ее грот-мачта рухнула за борт. Она оказалась «Сераписом» в 46 пушек. Вторая половина ночи: все заняты тушением пожара в разных частях корабля и откачкой воды, так как в трюме ее было не менее двух-трех футов. Плотники заняты заделкой пробоин при содействии плотников с других кораблей; течь продолжала прибывать, и нам прислали людей с других кораблей, которые помогали выбрасывать за борт орудия нижней палубы, мертвецов и т. д.

25-е. Первая часть этих суток: умеренные ветры и ясная погода. Течь продолжала увеличиваться, получили помощь от других кораблей людьми и офицерами, часть которых помогала откачивать воду. Вода продолжала прибывать, несмотря на то, что работали все помпы. Плотники кричали, что заделать течь невозможно. В 2 часа пополудни капитан Джонс вместе с капитаном и лейтенантом приза покинули корабль и оставили приказ продолжать работу помп и держать плотников за работой. В 7 часов он вернулся и обнаружил, что течь увеличивается, вследствие чего приказал перенести раненых на борт различных судов и вывезти с корабля самое необходимое. Для этой цели использовались шлюпки с остальных кораблей эскадры. В половине восьмого пополудни капитан покинул корабль вместе с несколькими другими офицерами и перебрался на борт приза. В 10 часов пополудни капитан послал за мастером корабля и отдал приказ находившимся на борту офицерам, которые не принадлежали к его экипажу, вернуться на свои суда вместе со своими людьми; они немедленно оставили помпы и исполнили приказ. Вторую половину ночи шлюпки были заняты перевозкой людей и самого необходимого с корабля на различные суда эскадры. В 4 часа утра прекратили работу помп, к тому времени вода поднялась почти до нижней палубы. В 10 часов того же дня каждый человек покинул корабль. В половине одиннадцатого утра с коммодорского корабля «Серапис» была послана шлюпка для перехода на «Бон Хомм Ричард», но прежде чем шлюпка подошла к борт(у), та затонула, что произошло около 11 часов утра. Последняя часть: свежие ветры и сильное волнение на море.

Примечание. Этот отчет, написанный рукой лейтенанта Генри Ланта, первоначально находился в судовом журнале «Сераписа», откуда был вырван, и ныне хранится в «Бумагах Джона Пола Джонса» (коллекция Питера Форса, т. VI, № 29). Эти страницы в виде факсимиле теперь вставлены на их законное место в оригинальных судовых журналах.

Некоторые замечательные происшествия, случившиеся 23-го дня сентября 1779 года, касательно «Бон Хомм Ричард» и «Сераписа» под командованием Ричарда Пирсона, эсквайра

В половине первого, находясь напротив Скарборо, обнаружили «Серапис» и множество судов под его конвоем.

«Бон Хомм Ричард» в половине восьмого пополудни догнал его и вступил в бой; в 8 часов пополудни поставил «Серапис» лагом к себе и привязал «Бон Хомм Ричард» к нему.

В половине двенадцатого ночи флаг «Сераписа» был спущен, и несколько офицеров и матросов «Бон Хомм Ричард» взяли его на абордаж.
