Vessels is the 11.4itie, to the .Hon. W. W. Vole, dated (.:+ll
board the Victory. in Wing° Sound, the 6th instant.
SIR,
Herewith I inclose, fq the information.of the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, a letter from
Captain Parker, of his Majesty's Ship Melpomene,
addressed to Rear-Admiral 'Sir Samuel Hood, giving
an account of his having chased a Danish Man of•
War Cutter on shore, and afterwards destroyed 'her,
with some other vessels, by the boats of that ship.
under the directions of Lieutenants Plumridge and
Rennie; the latter Officer and five men being se-
verely wounded. In which enterprise great gal-
lantry and spirit appears to have been displayed.
I am, Sa.

His stljesty's Ship Melpomene:, in the
SIR, Sleeve, May 1.
I beg leave to acquaint you, that having chased a
palish Man of War Cut/ter, of six guns, and appa-
rently quite new, on shore at Huilbo (a harbour in
Jutland), and anchored his Majesty's Ship' in nine-
teen feet water, the boats were sent under the direc.
tions of Lieutenants Plumridge and Rennie, who
Succeeded in boarding and destroying her, with some
other vessels, under a most tremendous fire.
The immense crowds of the enemy exposed to
the fire of the Melponiene; and that of her Launch's
earronade, leaves me good reason to suppose their
loss must be very considerable.
Ours is confined to Lieutenant George Rennie
and five men wounded in the boats, but more might
have been expeeted from the severe and galling fire
altogether direCted on them.
I cannot close this letter without expressing how
much Lieutenants Plumridge and Rennie are to be
adMired, with every Officer and Man, for their zea-
lous and gallant condul on this occasion.
• Underneath is the report of wounded.

I have the honour to be, Bre.
