Please can someone check this sentence against the source

The article has the following statement that does not altogether make sense:

In 1782, he distinguished himself particularly in the siege of Port Mahon: under fire, he moved to the collision of two British ships laden with arms and ammunition, seized it and conveys to the Spanish lines.

The source for this statement is Santiago de Liniers: Conde de Buenos Aires, p34-35.

What was the name of his ship?
What were the names of the two British ships?
What actually happened?

I understand that he captured at least one of the British ships and took it back to a Spanish-controlled port. I understand that the two British ships were carrying weapons and ammunition.--Toddy1 (talk) 10:21, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Viceroy

The first time the word Viceroy appears in the text, it appears with capital V. After that, it appears always with a small v. Idk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joaquin89uy (talk • contribs) 20:53, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
