 The ship was severely damaged, her aft part almost totally destroyed and the rest on fire.The crew fought the fire and were able to save the ship, but as Lieutenant England reported Our loss from the explosion, I here lament, has been very great; and Captain Miller, I am sorry to add, is of the number killed, which amount to 20; drowned, 9; and 45 wounded.Nelson wrote on learning of Miller's death that he is not only a most excellent and gallant officer, but the only truly virtuous man that I ever saw.
