Commander in Chief, ..of His Ilityesty's Ship and lessels at Jamaica, to Willie:vs Mariden, El.. dated at Port Royal, the loth Of August, 1 . 804. SIR, You . will herewith receive, for the -information • of the Lords Commissioners of the.Admiralty,' the copies of two Letters, reciting• the rapture of the , Hitondelle 'and Vautour French Privateers by His Mljesty's Ships, Tartar and FOrttlflee ; the former of which,4 trust, their LOrdships will think -with me does high honour to the Officers and Crews of the Tartar's boats,' for their :undaunted spirit and perseverance. I am, &c. J. T. DUCKWORTH. r His Majesty's Ship Tartar, ofir St. Da.: SI.R, Itthigo, Aug. 1, 1894. I have the honour 'to acquaint you, that, yester. .day morning, ,at dawn, 'standing, into, leeward of Saoria, a small:Sail was discovered front the mast heads, to which I immediately gave chase, keeping as'close to leeward of the Island as possible, in order to prevent her escape that way, knowing the Channel be.tween that Island . (Sauna) .and St. Do. , ming°, to. be very narrow and ,intricate even fur small vessels. - About seven the chase was made oat to be a Schooner full of men; using her sweeps and every means pOssible to get' Off; from which cir cumstance supposing her to he a Privateer, and per ceiving her intention of attempting- to escape through the liefore-mentioned Channel, I -made all . possible sail, and at eight o'clock got her within . reach of the guns, which, froM the short tacks I ..was obliged to make,. was prevented from using to that advantage, and effeet I could have wished with- out losing ground, therefore, though several shot went over, and through her sails, she still perse. vete/I. in beating •to windward until she had ad. .vanced near the centre of The Change!, where, tind. 'into it impossible to proceed further, she came to an anchor under a reef of rocks, at which dm; (ten in the forenoon), having heat the Ship up into six fathoms water, but deeming it imprudent to proceed further, and finding it would be almost impossible , to destsoir the vessel with the,great guns, not being able to anchor, or to bring the broadsides to bear to advantage, from the short tacks we were obliged to make, without hazard to the ship; yet, judging it of importance to take or destroy the vessel by some means or other, I immediately hoisted three boats nut, and sent them manned anti armed under the di redion of Lieutenant Mullah (Second Lieutenant), assisted by Lieutenant . Lockyer (Third), with se veral Midshipmen, all Volume:la on the occasion. • The instant the briar put off from the Ship, the ,SchoOner hoisted French Colours, fired a gun, and , warped her broadside towards them ; as the boats advanced', the Privateer comm enc ed fi r i ng grape from her, great guns, and on their, nearer approach opened a fire of musketry ; yet notwithstanding, and a strong sea breeze against the boats, Lieu. tenant Mullah, in the most intrepid and gallant manner possible, pulled up in the face of several discharges of grape, and a heavy fire of musketry from fifty men drawn up round the deck, boarded and carried her. It is impossible to speak too highly, or sufficiently to express my sense of the bravery and intrepid coniltift of Lietuenants" Mullah and Lockyer, as well as the Petty Officers Seamen, and Marines employed under them; considering the disadvantage under which they were obliged to 'attack, 'and ;the preparation the'Enetny halt made for defence, being ne a rly no on day ; nor can I tiro much commend the spirit and alacrity with which titer volunteered their services on theoteation; as well as the whole of the Ship's.company. I am happy , to add, that only two men were wounded, one ,- seaman and one marine (liadl)`).; the French lostmine.killed and six'woundeil, besides 'three missing, supposed to helve" been drowned in attempting to. swim :on 'shore.; the wounded I sent to St. Domingo by a flag of truce this morning. 'Phe remainder I keep on board, there being no' , English.pristmera•to excliange'in lieu.
