Somers on the night of the 4th Sept 1805, Before the Intrepid had gained her Disdined situation she was suddenly boarded by 100 Tripolines, when the Galland Somers and Heroes of his party Lieut. Wadsworth and Israel and 10 Men observed themselves surrounded by 5 Gun-boats and no prospect of escape, determined at once to prefer Death and the Destruction of the Enemy, to Captivity & a torturing Slavery, put a Match train leading directly to the Magazine, which at once blew the whole into the Air.” Engraving.
