Sir Peter himself lost an arm.

The Experiment, another 50 gun ship, had 57 killed and 30 wounded.*3* To these two vessels in particular, the attention of the fort was directed.
The words, passed along the line by officers and men, were--"Look to the Commodore--look to the fifty gun ships."*4* The smaller vessels suffered comparatively little.

Their loss of men was small.

The injury to the vessels themselves was greater, and one of them, the Acteon, run aground, and was subsequently burnt.

The Carolinians lost but twelve men killed and twice that number wounded.
