Yes. The British Ambassador has been given a personal tour, and I think
he'll be recommending that the soon to arrive British sloop-of-war is doing
nothing but diplomacy...

Thank you. Fourteen cannon lined up side by side on the gun deck is an
impressive sight - even if it is a squeeze. And even with only two men per
gun plus officers on a single broadside, it is quite squeezy below.

The hull is *very* thick, six pounders will hardly scratch the paint, and
nine pounders will probably bounce off. And anything cutter sized caught in
the broadside will be useful only for matchsticks.
