THE PIRATES.

The following are the particulars of the cap-
ture of a pirate schooner, of about 250 tens and 60 men, by the
brig Zephyr, Captain John M'Harrison, from Jamaica to
Lon-
don, and the barge of His Majesty's ship Iphigenia, between
Matanza and Double-headed Shot, on Tuesday, 27th August,
1822 :—" On Sunday I went on boird the Iphigenia, in the
Havannah, and requested of the Commodore protection for
my vessel. Monday morning he sent a barge with 20 men,
commanded by Lieutenant Stokes, and, if possible, to decoy
the pirate. At day-light- we set sail, In company with the
schooner Sarah, of Nassau, New Providence, and continued our
course along the coast of Cuba, towards Matanza, keeping the
Iphigenia's boat in tow under our lee, being the larboard side,
knowing from experience the tract of the pirates. On Tuesday,
the 27th, at 3 A sr. between Matanza and Double-headed Shot
Keys, hove to (light breezes and fine weather) for the Sarah to
come up. At day-light she was about 4 miles distant to wind-
ward, at the same time saw a suspicious-looking schooner to
windward, with a ship in her company laying to. The sus-
picious schooner bore up, and run down to the Sarah, fired two
muskets at her, and brought her to and boarded. The pirate,
with American colours, then bore down to the Zephyr, when
we hoisted our colours and prepared for action. In cross-
ing our stern, I hailed her; she answered, " A Cruiser.' I
immediately called to Lieutenant Stokes, who was under the
lee, to shove off, which he did in an officer-like manner ; we
all gave three cheers, and boarded the pirate on the larboard quar-
ter, drove them forward, and secured those on board in irons ;
one of the pirates made a stroke at the bowman of the barge, but
without effect. I sentmy boatmanned and armed to recapture the
Sarah, which was done, and the pirates who had possession of her
were carried on board their own vessel and put in irons, her
crew consisting of about 60 men. The pirate proved to be a
large two-topsail schooner, mounting six 18-pounders, and
small arms in proportion. I then boarded the Neutrality of
New York, who was previously detained by the pirate. On
the return of my boat, I, in company with the Sarah, made sail
to the northward, the barge and prize to die Havannah, and
the Neutrality towards New Orleans, Pan of Matanza bearing
'south half east, distant 15 leagues, lat. 23. 52. N."
