Transcendant was perceived to be on fire, having been fired by the drunken men before they left her, and soon afterwards she burst out into flames that threw a strong light to a great distance, discovering the corvette to us at two miles 'distance, and of course exposing us to the corvette, who immediately altered her course for us.
