GORGON, 44
UPON TWO DECKS
Adieu, ye vales, that smiling peace bestow
Where Eden’s blossoms ever vernal blow,
Ye fairy scenes where fancy loves to dwell,
And young delight, for ever, oh, farewell!—Falconer.
In July 1794 I joined the Gorgon, Captain James Wallis, at St. Fiorenzo, and after considerable delay sailed for Gibraltar with the convoy bound for England under Vice-Admiral P. Cosby, who had his flag on board the Alcide, 74. The following men of war, to the best of my recollection, in company:—
| Alcide | 74 | Vice-Admiral Cosby |
| Commerce de Marseilles[[109]] | 136 | |
| Gorgon | 44 | |
| Pearl[[109]] | 36 | |
| Topaze[[109]] | 36 | |
| St. Fiorenzo | 36 | |
| Modeste | 32 |
