Folio 10: Listing of the sick and hurt in the action with the French ship La Guillaume Tell on 30 March 1800. During the action which lasted 4 hours, with great warmth several cartridges on the lower deck caught fire, and in the explosion which was truly dreadful and alarming, the named, who were contiguous, were most miserably burned, scarce any part of their bodies escaping- luckily the Purser had a large stock of fine oil on board in which they were all immediately immersed to their great relief, the excruciating agony they suffered is not to be described, upon snipping the [vesules?] many degenerated into foul ulcers which were a length of time healing and ultimately several of those who from proximity were most exposed to the violence of the explosion lost the use of their hands. the men who were deprived of their limbs had their operations performed immediately on the cessation of the firing and no untoward symptoms taking place soon recovered.
