EXTRACT FROM rill?. SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
• OF SIR GEORGE COLLIER TO THE LORDS OF
THE ADMIRALTY, PRINTED BY 01113111 OF
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, DATED Will air-
TEDI BLitt 18420.

nstriug the time I was al Cspe Costs', one of she riebanSein
chiefs had exp d great desire to see ibe Commodore; in
consequence ef underssanding ohm I invited him to see 1)m
frigate. Dm lug the time he was on board, he nutierdosith
a minims eye, she slate of she marines muskets; the ens-
ronades, ansl long guns 011 she main deck ; • desire was Ca-
p eeeee d so know what the longest range of our cannon Was.
This vas ixplaiord, but perhaps allude exigger■ti d; she
chief was, however, told she frigate could apionArb the wadi
mach nearer.

Upon • request of his to verify The precision of our firing,
some of the main.derk gone were cast loose, and lie begged
to see how near a bail could be thrown to a stoup layieg at
the beck of the at. f. The Chief witnessed all the operation
of loading and priming with great attention. Congrevea
shalt was then •pp!bil, amid he was told to keep Lii rye on
the mast of the sloop, dun however laying so far off (bring
ew,,i4e,nbly wore than a mile), that I bad little expectatioa
of hitting It; she bad only one ship keeps on board, wko
was abaft.
The shot, however, was more exact than I had conceived
possible, and the roll of the ship only pretested the mast
lilting struck, as it lodged in a direct line, and tittered at
ibe water line of the vessel. A combinative eonttroordi-
nary struck the Ashautee with estunisbment; mad cm the
return of the carpenter, who had bent scut with • plug,
brining the shot, covered by a sbect.of copper it had carnal
iu with it; the &bootee chi, f requested the copper as a war
cap, which, as it was already formed in shape to his skull.
I put os, and, in his language, made him a dash (present)
of it, desiring him to show it to his King, and thus leake
him comprehend the danger of approsohiog British
cannon. This lie promi+rd to do, übset►iug, a that they
bad often beard, at Cummassie, what Englishmeo could do
with their big guns, but that it would hot be Imlntrid at
Commassie that they could do execution at au& a distance;
that he was glad he lied seen it, as it world make his bug
very cautious how he came near those great Ettglisk guns."
Upon this, I desired him to take the eighteen pound ►hot
also, which he did, and piumised to deriver it as the Com-
modore's dish to his lung..
