SCENE XI. AND LAST.
View of the Spanish and English Fleets in the
Harbour of Carthagena, with the Castle and Town
at a distance.
The Engagement commences—boats are seen
rowing from ship to ship—
Sir Francis giving orders,
from his quarter deck, through his speaking trumpet
—
Iron Arm, on board of one of the boats, attacks
Alphonso on board another—boards him—
overburthened with numbers it sinks, and Alphonso
and Iron Arm swim for their lives, the former to
another boat, the latter till he reaches the head of a
large ship near the front of the stage—attempts to
board it, commanding his men to follow him—the
Castle takes fire, and the whole of the Town of
Carthagena appears in ruins—Iron Arm, driven to
the bowsprit of the vessel, is overcome; and being
cut from the hold he had long continued by his Iron
Arm—with
his death, the
Curtain falls to the
huzzas of the gallant and victorious British Fleet.
FINIS.
