The _Fougueux_, the _Pluton_, the _Algésiras_, commanded by Rear-Admiral Magon, heroically resisted overwhelming attacks.

Shortly after Nelson fell, the "Téméraire" had run on board the "Redoutable" on the other side, and the French "Fougueux" upon the "Téméraire," so that for a few minutes the four ships were fast together, in the heat of the fight.

Now an attempt was made by the "Fougueux," by bracing up her yards, to cross under the stern of the "Weymouth." This, however, was quickly prevented by Captain Jumper, by a similar manoeuvre, as he had no intention of giving up the advantageous position he held.

Just before the close of the war, Captain William Jumper, commanding the _Weymouth_, engaged and sank the _Fougueux_, a French 48-gun ship, and shortly afterwards he fell in with another French 50-gun ship, but in the heat of the engagement, some powder on board the _Weymouth_ blew up the poop, and disabled her for further immediate action.
