GLOSSARY
The frigate yawed, fired a bow chaser at the Chasseur (who fired a ragged, ineffective broadside in return), yawed the other way and fired the other chaser at Badger, the shot humming low over the deck, and now in his glass Philip could see the crew gathering about the pin rails, looking back to quarterdeck for the command. “Gun crews ready!” Philip called. For a moment he wished he had thought to load grape, but then the Spanish captain lifted his speaking trumpet and it was time. “Fire!” shouted Philip, and the Badger’s guns went off together, shaking her from truck to keel.
