"Lowestoft" was badly damaged in sails and rigging, but was saved from further loss by the arrival of the Neapolitan frigate "Minerva" which interceded with "Duquesne".In turning, Allemand failed to follow orders effectively, meaning that instead of passing to leeward of the British ships, between the enemy and "Ça Ira" and "Censeur", he passed to windward, sailing down the other side of the British vanguard.
