They. then ordered the officers and passengers into

',try lasted until hilt must four o'clock ;. when finds.
log unthirg else of valim.to them, they sent book
to us our mote, who bad been chi:nor' ell this time
on board the privateer, with the papers of the vessel,
and left as with orders to pursue our course ; they
steering for the land. On !roving us they sent our
boat this distressed situation, it was de.
c.chid that we should make fur Havionsh, in order to
ribta;ri new rails, and to repair the losses we hnd
unstained. On the sth September, at 6 o'clock in
the morning, the wind being light from the east-
ward and nearly a calm. directing owe course for the '
limarmah, according to our previous determination
on the Si lust. nod being thee off Poirot:obsess, we
perceived a sail near the shore, appsrentiv directing
her course for its, who + soon proved to be correct,
for at b o'clock be was approaching us rapidly.
At nine they fired a gun, to which we did inot pay
arty regard ; at ball post 9 she fired itoother, and
ut out her boat.. At this time we discovered that
it !as the ante schooner that bail plundered us two
tlari before. and concluding to heave to, hoisted
, oval .g. The boat soon boarded us with pine
ersweit Nmen. The officer told os he was seat by the
• Captain toexpress his surprise and regret at finding
• us to the.same place; without taking into view the
iiglq winds which had prevented our making any
progress. This officer then ordered us to hoist
our long boat from off the hatches, in order
to get at the bold, and commanded the crew to
shift the• good. which were below, and to search
umeogot the sand ballast lot specie, which he con-
ceived thielit be concealed there ; but discover-
ing nothing, they again went upon deck, sum-
moned the Captain and pasteng,ers from the
pet a cord round each of their necks,
ordering them to declare where they had con.
crated she remainder of the money which was cut
board. The Captain persisted in saying there
was unite besides what they had already got ;
when they proceeded to snake preparations fur
hanging them. After torturing them in this way
for some time, and perceiving that their suffer-
i ups were extreme, and that even the aspect of dearth
could extract nothing more from them, they let
go the'topes and restored them to life. They then
commenced plundering all they could find on deck,
the articles in the camboose, most of the remain-
jag revisions, and the efiects of the Capeskin and
crew, leering every thing in the utmost disorder.
While 'has employed, the privateer passed under
our stern, wed the Captain inquiring of the Officer
whit he had done, was answered that lie had dis-
covered nothing more. He then advised our Cap-
tain to leave the coast immediately, as he should
remain there, and we had better nut fall into hi,
hands a third time: He stated, that the day before
istbseao off the Horannah, where he had exchanged
bit boat. as we had already perceived. lie also in-
formed es, the' he had consorts out, which we might
fall in with, but from which we had nothing td
fear, as they would not trouble us. This he repeat:
edllieferal time% but in a manner which was ruthete

'caltulated to e;teite our suspicion. la passing lei
windward, he ordered his officer to ►equire of our
Wimple) an inventory of the articles be had taken
trim us, which was complied with. The piratical
officer then left us—and as the sc....loner was very
DPW to up, we could perceive that they had not so
matey men on beard as when they first boarded us;
.a”.l, during all these transletions, they had no flag
whatever hoisted. All these circumstance., and
pat-ocularly the threats made to us, determined the
Captain to mike for Charleston, or the first poSt we
could get to in the United States, in order to re-
pair damages and continue hiv voyage. While on
hoard the brig, some of the privateer's men asserted,
Ghat they had the day previous taken so American
ship, and murdered the whole of the crew, with the
ineceotion of the carpenter, who was wounded by
them, and a boy; and that it was well for them they
were not Americans. or they would all be put to
death. But this is supposed to have been without
foundation.
