| On June 17th, Captain the Hon. William Paget in the Romney, 50, with a convoy, discovered the French Sibylle, 40, Captain J. M. Rondeau, at anchor in the harbour of Mykonos. Three other British vessels were in sight from the Romney\'s masthead, and, as her convoy would for that reason be safe, she went into the harbour, anchored close to the Sibylle, and summoned her to surrender. The Sibylle\'s captain refused, and the Romney opened fire. After seventy minutes\' fighting most of the French crew fled ashore, and Captain Rondeau struck his colours. The Sibylle fought 14 instead of 13 guns on her main-deck engaged broadside. |
