His right See also:leg was shattered by a See also:chain-shot, despite which he remained on the See also:quarter-See also:deck till See also:morning, when the flagrant disobedience of the captains under him, and the disabled See also:condition of his ship, forced him reluctantly to abandon the See also:chase.
