	CONSTITUTION Defeats HBMS GUERRIERE
		Hull retook the three prizes, and from his British prisoners learned that six frigates were patrolling the general area on the alert for the likes of Constitution.
		Simultaneously, Hull attempted to turn across the Briton's bow and rake, "but our braces being shot away...we could not effect it." The net effect of the two captains' actions was that the British ship crashed into Constitution's larboard mizzen rigging, destroying the quarter boat in the davits, and momentarily becoming snagged.
		Isaac Hull next took up a position off his crippled enemy's larboard bow from which he fired several broadsides into him, according to one report blowing the first two gun ports on that side into one gaping hole.
