KIRKWALL, OCT. I
Upon Friday, the 4th instant? the fishing smacks Ttyall, Cap-
tain Harvie; Calcraft, Captain Reeves; and Admiral Nelson,
Captain Ruffeli, all of London, being abreast of Peerhead,
standing to the northward, for the fishing grounds off the coast
of Orkney, perceived a sloop privateer about three miles dis-
tant, in chase of a large loaded brig, when the smacks immedi-
ately gave chase to the privateer, resolving to attack and ea;!ture
her. After a three hours chase, during which the privateer
threw overboard two guns, the smacks came up with her, and
being prepared for action, they forced her to strike to them,
after firing several guns; but the sea was running so very high,
that they could not board her until the weather moderated, and
during the night, notwithstanding that she often attempted to
escape, the smacks kept by her until the day following, when
the weather having moderated, the smacks boarded her. They
found her to be a Danish privateer, called the Tack For Skit,
of Bergen, commanded by Captain Andreas Orn, carrying six-
teen men, three guns, and a number of small arms. Having
taken out the crew, the smacks succeeded to bringing her into
Stromness harbour the day following. This capture was a for-
tunate es'ent, otherwi,c the loaded blig, and several otl-'r ves-
sels that were at the tima on the coast, might have been taken
by the privateer.
