The total of killed and wounded, as carried out in this table, exceeds that in the official return by 50 ; namely, three killed on board the Ramillies, and 13 wounded on board the Majestic on May 29, as extracted from their respective logs, and 34 additional wounded men on board the Cæsar, on June 1st, as deposed to by her surgeon, at Captain Molloy's court-martial. Moreover, the official amount by lumping the loss of the several ships, makes it appear as if the whole had been incurred on the 1st of June.
