Success

Local justice

You club a couple of the gang into insensibility before they even know you're there. Suddenly they're all business[…] A cry goes up[…] the locals are with you! […] A mob […] thrashes the press gang out of the neighbourhood. You collect […] glim from the casualties.

Failure

Quite a large gang

Perhaps taking on a full press gang wasn't that great an idea. They make to circle you, but you're too quick. You are forced to retreat, lest you enjoy an entirely new career in the dirigibles.
