her sister ship the Jean Bart
came to her assistance. In at

Courbet to tow her, stie ram
med her. sinking her at once,
and doing herself so much
damage that she was forced
to proceed to Malta where she

two 5.3 inch and four smaller |
guns in the secondary batter- J
ies. It is reported that the*
Bart rescued the crew of the
Courbet, but it is n:t known I
for sure.
