This obliged her to haul off to repair, and to cease firing. The Americans now finding their principal gun (Long Tom) and several others dismounted, deemed it folly to think of saving her against so superior a force; they therefore cut away her masts to the deck, blew a hole through her bottom, took out their small arms, clothing, &c., and went on shore....
