"The townspeople called out their militia, and drove the Falcon away, freeing the schooners and capturing British seamen." - This seems slightly misleading, as it was the crew of the prize that (probably) recaptured the schooner. Might I suggest a slight rewrite to make this clear?
"The lieutenant was wounded in the action, and he and a few men managed to escape the action in a skiff around 4 pm" - Do we know the exact details of how the other men were captured, the ones not on the re-captured prize schooner? Did they drift to shore or did the militia come out for them?
"Ten colonists impressed for naval service were freed by the American militia during the battle." - This doesn't seem to be mentioned in the article, only that some men were impressed by Linzee.
Another nice little article. A few questions to answer, then it can be passed. Skinny87 (talk) 20:21, 24 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for taking the time to review my work. I think I've addressed your concerns; in particular, I've tried to clarify the sequence of events so that it's clearer what happened when. Magic♪piano 23:40, 24 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
