she appeared to take the Caltope for a merchant
brig. lyiiff mist prudent not to Maki any sail
until she foetid out her mistake, which was at the
distant* of about three miles. when she bore up
and made all sail ; at 'half-past eight made all sail

Snag the bow gnus occasionally ; at eleven within
reach of musket.ahot, but keeping upon my lee
