Oa the evening of the Ist of NI It,elphi:.r,
informatien that an-English vessel had come up the
Penobscot bay in the afternoon, in such a way that
rendered her very snspiciousi and that she had fol-
lowed a small vessel twenty miles out of her way,
and
.had come to_ an anchor under Long
about -snu-sets although she had a fair wind, and 11\
fine moon all night-. I went immediately after ncr;
and 141.111 Ct her in. a snug harbour. She had a clear-
ance.from Pcirtstroutli, N. H. kr Novi s. ;intt
was undoubtedly atter a load of Mr. Master's flour...
I made seizure of the Vessel (and tool: her to cits«
tine that night) under the ninth s,.tction J.
bargo Act.

fieieg eensdileethat there was a plan forming at
Buck's toem and the Isle of Haut, and that they
were 'determined to 'evade the laws by furce, I went
to Buck';-town, and , placed an. otiicer on shore,
and put an Otticer on board a sloop that was loading
under a perniit, •t he only suspicious vessel that setae
there at thateirne. The otheer on shore was to gird
inferination to me by land, in ease any vtolenc
should b'e otl;•,reil to the, officer on hoard. I that
proceeded to .1 he Isle of Haut, i•itt pteced five men
there With et boat to guard, the flour, ttc.-• there, eel
have previously grated, "heir orders were to, stop ,ouy
boat or essel that should come pest there; thatep-
.
peered suspieioui, and to see thtt the dour, &tee
was not taken away without ,e permit. They were
armed to defend themselves, and their orders wef)
to ou,nnienect no attack, hut what was stric ly theik
duty to do. I hen went to Castine, and was pre-
eenng the smell schooner cruize from the bile,ol
Haut to Btu.k's-town, armed as I stated in
,my lest,
and let sensible that she will out-sail any'veesel that
should ante rept to nuke their escape. On the beh
iest. oe the Sebterth night, the wind blew fresh at
North, toy offieer at 'l3uteCt.towe had turned itt
about nine o'olock,. and all I tenet were pettceeble,
he was• awoke by five Men, mailicd and amore!,
coining into the cabin,' mei telling hi.o to LEe quiet,
or they would bind him; there were theo thirty or
forty men. who came down Ott the-wharf, blackened
and dry:said in disguise, and put on boord a qUalitiix
of flour and lisle andgot her under weigh,.and sent
her to Sett, tanking; the otlicor will; them, whom
they carried down the bay about forty miles, aml
landed hint, but at such a 'place that he c >Old nut
get any assistance; at the Sling time these men
came on to the wharf, there were thil teen men sta-
tiuned on the beidge,.aboet two Miles fromlltel'e-
tmen, to prevent my officer ,On ,Shure from giving
mu information, and by the time I had received OW,
'information, It be had got ten hours start, and with,
as much wind as she eeeld,carry sail to. .
On the .setne evening theee came in amongst the
islands, an English schooner, trout Nova recteee,
`with eight men on board, armed with muskets and
cutlasses; and after crureiteg five or six days amonget
the Wands, they were buerded by a 'bolt from,
Buck'sitoree, with live tnen armed with tnnekeee,
blunderbusses, and boarding pikes ; they than took
Mount
a pilot from Desert, and proceeded to the
Isle of Haut, all on board the schoeeer, except tete
Men in the boat, who towed the schooner into the
reach, not tar from the store that comained the
Sour, and carne to an anchor; it was then about
seven o'clock. in the evening, and very dirk ;, the
boat was then er4eredatung tide, and ten Alen ate oed
with nine muskets and a pistel, ail loadej with bed,.
got into the boat. She was then ordered to row on
shore to the wharf, where. the fieer wa,, the boat
was discovered by my men, and they prepared theme
sues to stand their oen, deleece. • The UMW& of
my revenue teed hailed the boat from the shore, as
she was corning • toward the wharf and the y:see
sweredfromeVivatheyen,;in this district. The officer '
then orderedthemto row on 4hore. Immedietely.
they rowed up to him, sprung from the boat, with
their guns cocked, took, the ottleer prisoeer at tire
bows of the boat ; they then' rushed 'upon the rest
of my men, killed one man and took anuteer
soner, took his gun from him and let hint! go; the
other two made their escape; tbey took. the reveuue
•boar, and all the. other boats on On iSlall‘,l, as they
thought, and hauled them tip and secured them
they ellen took•the,Man that was shot, and dragged
„him Imo 'the wetee, hauled the schooner ineethe
wharf, aed took one hundred and sixty bArrels
flour and rice, and tun& sail for sett, with the :nester
of the revenue; hoef-Ote board ; the two inert that
made their ,_escape, very luckily tutted a boat on .the
.hack side of the island, and came to Castine add
gave me infOrtnation. I sent, immediately for the
.schooner that was ordered. to crutie from Buck.,,-
own to the Isle of Hem, to report to. me troet. time
guard at each place. She was on her way to Buck's-
town, I took thirteen men in theSenootier with rut
and put four men into- a small sail boat to accom-
pany us, and we started lOr the isle of Hant as
soon its possible ; it was then night, and soon eidnu
on 'a violent 'gate of witul, and the n boat has u‘
'heard 'of since, and the men are lons[ `I yoiall :ell
dOtibt.. We arrived' at the Isle of Haut the next
nuirning, I found there my deputy from Deer ISde,
with teventy men, who arrived there the everting be.
fore, bet the schooner wee gone when they arroyd;
as they had carried off 'Otte of my men a prisoner, I
thought it my duty to pima them, although it Olen
blow a very severe gale of wind.' I took it:, the
schooner a pact of the. men from Deer Isle, trod
run over to f'Ox•lslared, 'and came in sight of the
schooner, in what way culled Fox Islaltd fttort_tigiu-
