 The next day, "Junon" was still some way ahead of her pursuers when two more British ships, the 38-gun and the 18-gun , appeared and caused her to alter her course.Seeing "Latona" steering to cut her off, "Junon" turned back towards "Horatio", passing her on the opposite tack and exchanging fire.A short engagement followed in which both frigates were greatly damaged but "Junon", less so in the sails and rigging, was able to leave "Horatio" behind.
