Whilst ashore, there was some unpleasantness between our purser, Mr. Cushing and Lord Westlake. If I understand it correctly, there was some discussion as to his lordship's courage in comparrison to that of his brother's.
 |
| Capt May of the Marines and Capt Freymann acted as the seconds for the two duelists. |
 |
| Lt. Tumbusch implores the gentlemen, surely there must be some other way to settle things? |
 |
| Capt Freymann gives Lord Westlake his pistol. |
 |
| His Lordship fires! |
 |
| Cushing's leg is merely grazed by the musket ball. |
 |
| Fit to return fire, Cushing fires back. |
 |
| Cushing's musket ball strikes true, Lord Westlake is killed. |
