and nailed up the guns ( twelve-pounders) ; 1 afterwards brought
the vessels down the river, and destroyed the signal p0...t of
Donation. lam happy to acquaint your Lordship, that the
only damage we .ustained was having some of our standiag
running rigging and sails cut.
I have to acknowledge the support 1 received from Lieute-

during the time we were reconnoitring the river arid beac,a I
feel much obliged to Mr. Wood, Assistant Surgeon of the

that landed. I have the honour to r-nlain,
dcc USHER.
