ref:294April 1747 Six days after the capture of the Comte de Noailles, on her way to Bristol with the prize the Blandford fell in with the Grand Granoth of Granville, 40 guns and 480 men, which engaged the Blandford for four hours, during which time the prize gave no assistance, and the Deux Couronnes of St. Malo, 24 nine and six-pounders with 280 men, coming down, the Blandford endeavoured to escape, but being so shattered in her rigging and sails, the Deux Couronnes soon came up with her, and as Captain Seix’s people were quite tired, the best of his people aboard the prize and 159 prisoners aboard his own ship, the Blandford was obliged to strike to superior force. The Comte de Noailles was retaken.
