Extrafl of a letter from Le-wi-Town, April 1, 1776.
" On Monday evening last, a man of war and her tender
came within the pitch of our cape and anchored —as you
have been imotmed. The pilot boat Rationed near Lewis-
Creek'- mouth, did not difeov.r the signal at the Lg.t Hotife,
nor fee the ihip that evening, as it was near dark before flie
came to he pitch of the cape. Tuesday morning the man
of war's boat took a pilot boat, the wind bemg'iight and
no herly, and ebb tide—but hi fore they'boarded her, the
hands in he pilot boat left her and rowed on shore, at the
Broad-kiln, in their fkift —the fame day the man of war with
their tenders and boats took a small sloop, then laying in the
road belonging to Egg Harbour in Ballad, the people of
whom left her firft in their boat. They allo took two #siher
small Hoops from Philadelphia, one bou d to Sinepuxent,
the other to North - Carolina, and on Wednesday sent the
people on shore in their own small boats, dripped and (cuttled
the three sloops, and set them adrift; by these people
we learn it is Capt. Hammond of the Kings flrp the Roe
Buck, of forty-four guns—They made a tender of' the pilot
boa, sent her out, took a New-England sloop bound to
Philadelphia for corn, and that night laying too near the
cape, the hand at helm falling asleep let the pilot boat run on
the beach, when the third Lieutenant, their pilot and two
fillers left her, went on thecape, and were taken on Thurs
day by our men—we dripped the pilot boat of every thing
of value, and found ten mufquers and five pifiols which had
been hove over the fide where the boat lies.
" The fcveral companies of Militia from all parts of the
country who live within twenty or five and twenty miles of
Lewis came in as loon as they could be expe&ed, seemed all
quite unanimous and hearty in the cause, determined te de
fend their country—There has been near 1000 men in at
times the lag week, so that we were obliged to difeharge
many of them, not having occasion for half the number.
" On Saturday last Capt. Pope's company of the Delaware
battalion, of regular soldiers came down from Kent, all well
cquipp d.
" From what I can learn from the prisoners that we have
got, you may daily expert fcveral large ships, therefore I
hope hat you may be upon your guard, as, the prisoners
fay they are to go up the river."
