Eight days later they were sighted by the British early on the morning of the 14th, approximately 300 miles (480 km) west of FinistC(re, the westernmost department of France. The British squadron still consisted of the fourteen ships of the line which had sailed, but they were all on the smaller side for such ships; the number of guns they were rated to carry varied from 50 to 74, only one being rated for more than 66 guns. The French convoy consisted of 250 merchant ships, escorted by eight ships of the line, an Indiaman and a frigate. The French ships were rated for 56 to 80 guns, five being rated for 70 guns or more. At first Hawke thought he was up against a much larger fleet of warships, and formed a line of battle. Herbiers initially mistook the British ships for members of the French convoy; on realising his mistake he decided to use his warships to divert the British and allow the merchant ships to disperse, which he hoped would allow most of them to avoid capture. Hawke gave the flag signal for "general chase", ordering each of his ships to head towards the enemy at its maximum speed. The French had by now formed their own line of battle; the Indiaman Content, the frigate Castor and the smaller French ships stayed with the merchantmen. When within about 4 miles (6.4 km) of the French line, Hawke slowed the advance to permit his slower moving ships to catch up.
