Leaving "Temeraire", and declining combat with the newly arrived , Maistral turned eastward, and at 2.30 pm came alongside the starboard bow of the 74-gun . "Belleisle" had become isolated and took the fire of several French ships until British ships were able to come to her rescue. "Neptune" battled briefly with the 64-gun , and as the British began to overwhelm the Franco-Spanish fleet, she prepared to run for Cadiz, giving supporting fire for the "Principe de Asturias" as the Spanish ship withdrew, before joining the retreat to Cadiz. During the fighting "Neptune" had sustained a relatively minor amount of damage, and had just 15 killed and 39 wounded.
