It may be mentioned that Bishop Hildesley and his family witnessed the action from Bishop's Court, and that the bowrprit of the "Bellisle," two yards in circumference, which was struck off during the engagement, and came on shore not far from where he was standing, he set up on a small eminence, in the glen leading up from his palace, which he named "Mount AEolus," in commemoration of the victory ; the mount still remains, but the frail memorial of Thurot has long ago passed away.
