'...the [French] troops marched down from their respective encampments to the quay side, where, according to previous arrangements, they deposited their arms and accoutrements in boxes, which were at once conveyed on board the ships of war by small vessels engaged for that service. Large quantities of ammunition and powder were also embarked by the same means...The transports having been laid alongside, the troops entered through the lower ports, and for the first time in their lives they found themselves on board an English ship of war'.
