The Spanish fleet, 27 ships strong, was en route to join the French at Brest, but met their match in the British fleet comprising 15 ships under the command of Sir John Jervis. As dawn broke Jervis`s ships were in position to engage the Spanish, Jervis, Captains Calder and Hallowell were on the quarter deck of the Victory counting the ships when the following account was reported "There are eight sail of the line, Sir John", "Very well", "There are twenty sail of the line, Sir John", "Very well, sir", "There are twenty five sail of the line, Sir John", "Very well, sir", "There are twenty seven sail of the line, Sir John", "Enough, sir, no more of that; the die is cast, and if there are fifty sail I will go through them". At which point Captain Hallowell became so excited that he thumped the Admiral on the back, "That`s right Sir John, and by God, we`ll give them a damn good licking!" By 11.30am all ships were in position and the action had begun. Three ships including H.M.S. Prince George tacked to reverse her course and take after the Spanish column. They were shortly joined by Victory and the remaining fleet. Once together they formed a U shape around the enemy. Fighting went on until about 17.00hrs, when it concluded with a British victory. 73 men of the Royal Navy were killed, a further 227 wounded. Spanish casualties were far higher, about 1000 men killed or wounded with 144 killed in one ship alone. It was Nelson`s first victory and gave him the recognition from his fellow colleagues that he was a skilled and fearless leader.
