MAINJAFAD,
I have no doubt you are right regarding Ambuscade not Yarmouth. Alacrity was on Circle 5 off Hermes, No matter how long I look at her reported positions I can't tally these with the others, so I have to assume it is wrong. However, if she was on Circle 5, and ACO was five or so miles from Hermes, that would make her the nearest ship and she was in fact the first to render assistance. I don't Chris Craig's account with me, but I'll dig it out when I'm back at home
