She bore down on the Leander towards night, and Captain Lewis wifhing to 'remain whe Sher fire was friend or enemy before dark, he fired a gun and hoilled American colours. No fignal was given in reply, but the Teel continued to approach, lighted her lamps as it became dark, and the crew of the Leander could clikinaly hear the commands given with the trumpet, the fuppofed enemy being now within a few fathoms difiance. Captain Lewis be lieving her intention was to board, now pouted a, broadfule of 18 pounders into her, which (battered her bow confiderably, cot away her rigging. and killed one man, the captain of the main-top.
