Thus, on the 24th of September, Allen found himself alone at Long Point with a hundred and twenty men in face of three times as many under the redoubtable Major Carden, a skilled veteran who had won Wolfe's admiration years before.

Carden's force included thirty regulars, two hundred and forty militiamen, and some Indians, probably not over a hundred strong.

Carden broke Allen's flanks rounded up his centre, and won the little action easily, though at the expense of his own most useful life.

High winds and fog hampered the operations to a considerable extent, but the purpose of the Allies under Vice-Admiral Carden was adamant and would not be denied.

On March 16 Vice-Admiral Carden, who had been incapacitated by illness, was succeeded in the chief command by Rear-Admiral John Michael De Robeck, with the acting rank of vice-admiral.

Captain Snipes was supplanted in command of the Macedonian by Captain Carden.

The marriage is eventually set aside, and Grace Carden espouses Henry Little.
