action. The corsair ships attempted to escape along the coast. On the 17 August Beach arrived with his five ships and cut off their escape to the north. During the night the corsair ships ran themselves ashore at high water and most of the crew left the ships. The following morning boats from the Dutch and
English ships took possession of the three Algerine flagships. However, they remained aground and couldn’t be shifted. As all six boats began to break up in the surf, the English boats freed as many Christian slaves as they could and then set fire to the ships. A number of contemporary accounts of this event still exist. Sir Thomas Allin wrote an account of his operations in the Mediterranean against the Algerines and corsairs and described the destruction of six Algerine men-of-war off Cape Spartel when 250 Christian captives were released. A letter from Samuel Daukes contains a description of the sufferings of the captives.

In the centre foreground the ‘Portsmouth’ is shown at anchor, and ahead of her is Commodore Beach’s flagship the ‘Hampshire’ firing her port guns. She is the only English ship shown with a pendant the leading ship to the right having a Commodore’s red pennant with the Cross of St George at the main.
