Leaving the deserted galley behind, the Dragon continued the pursuit of the others, and overtook and captured another as easily as she had done the first.
The other two boats reached the shore before they were overtaken, and those on board leaping out fled.

The Saxons took possession of the deserted galleys.

They found them, as they expected, stored full of plunder of all kinds--rich wearing apparel, drinking goblets, massive vessels of gold and silver which had been torn from some desecrated altar, rich ornaments and jewels and other articles.

These were at once removed to the Dragon.

Fire was applied to the boats, and they were soon a mass of flames.
