fohn Dilworth, Commander.,
, T, Sept. 10,1779, at fa. in lat. 35, 5;,
A and bng. 70, 18, W. the wind at N. E.
having crnjuited.waat was bit to be done for the
' f^d of i/ee cruse, being /bort of wood and matter,
"freed to bear up for Georgia to get fap,fed, as we
era not get to New-York without Juff r %, and
raan of the crew fob, the wind bung between the
N and t. my orders being to jlaj out while I could
man a prize.
id'ednefda, the igth, at 9 A. M. made the land
off Tyhee, and difeoroered fourteen large foils riding
to, anchor off Tyhee, with a toip at anchor about a
vale from the bar dijmafed, and a brig fianfng
in for the bar. IJuppofedthe whole to be an En
glilh feet, the wind blowing hard at N. E. I
: kept to the windward of them a league distant,
and fetched within bail of the diJmafled 'hip ; kit 1
sassed l boiled English colours, which she did not
a?fiver ; I flood in close with the bar and Jaw
two mere large fh^ps to anchor in the channel,
which made me dubious, ob erved a heavy tea on
the bar; I thucht prudent to tack, and food 10-
wards the difnaded ftp again, foe hoisted a
white jack at the main slump and fired ; guns, on
which the brig hot,ed American colours, to her
topin lift, and a whilejak at frfore-topmaft
crofstrees ; took in Jail and run clje to the dijma,-
ed fit. and brought to anchor under her fern ;
one of th^ largejbips hoifed a flag at each top -gal
lantma/l-head: I did not tike these Manoeuvres,
therefore bore up before the quind and run them
hull down, but to my great furprize made ten fail
more, eight of which were very large (hips to an
chor off Sunbury inlet, the other two fail were a
fchoon/r and afoop under Jail; when I got tb the
southward of them all, hauled by the wind and
gave chace to the schooner, at 2 P M. came up
with her, foe proved to be a schooner t&en by the
French, who were landing troops at Sunbury, she
had neither wood, water, nor provifons on board,
nor any thing of value but 4g men, and 3 nffice r 's,
which we ordered on board ; they came accordingly,
and after examining them concerning the French
feet and army dijehargedyhem on this condition,
that they frould dijebarge as many Englijh prison
ers, which the Captain promised to do on his hon
our. We all unmimoufy agreed to come to an al
lowance of water of a pint per man a day, and
two bifeuits, with a resolution to go to New-York
to give intelligence, but it blew a heavy gale from
the N. E. which prevented me of my defan ; next
morning five Jail hove in fight and gave chaee, at
11 A. M fleered Eaf, at 6 P. M. hove about
and carried fail all night, the gale continues, and
hope to be clear of them next morning. 1
At day light saw a Jhip off my lee bow and gave
chace; I tacked and flood to the Northward, at 6
A. M. saw 4.fail more off my lee quarter, one of
which gave chace ; fill blowing hard from the 1
N. E At 9 A. M to my great furprize made two \
other large Jhips on my weather bow. I kypt my
flretch, the foips weathered me three leagues, And
took no notice of me. I was happy to think myfelf clear
of them, but at one P. M. to my great mortification
made two more Jail a-head. I was now in the
utmost confer nation, a Jhip in chace on my lee
quarter ; I edged away as much as I could with-!
out running into their hands : as it happened they
did not mind me. At 3P. M. made one fail more,
on which 1 kept my wind until 5 P. M. when I
put before the wind and got within two miles or
less of the Jhip who chaced me all day ; but being
close in with the feore they did not think proper to
follow me.—l run c/oje along shore until twelve at
night, when I hauled off concluding I was entirely
clear of them by this time, but at 3 A. M made
another large foip close to windward of me ; kept
away till I loft fight of her, and Jo hauled by the
wind, being the fourth day Jince Ifell in with
them.
\The information obtained of the Frenchmen was
to this effect, That the Count D'Eftaing's fleet con
fined of twenty-one Jail of the line and twelve
frigates, that the Count had landed 6000 land
forces at Charlefown, and 2000 more at Sunbury.|
