at night, when we lost sight of them, it blowing
strong, with thick weather.
" On the 7th, we fell in with a. large. privateer)
schooner, the. wind blowing fresh. - She stinding
towards us, we bore down:to her, and prepared-
for action, upon which she immediately- made
.
front us. We fired only one shiir, anti hauled' our
wily!, steering our course. This vessel, 1 ani •
afraid, will do considerable mischief to the sepa,
rated ships, being in the track of the Channel,.

TUCKER, master, on her passage from Trieste to

the Harpy American privateer, of 10 guns and
110 men, close in with the Burlings, near Lisbon ;
atter being seven days in the possess;.on of the.
enemy, the master, with the assitance of CHARLEs
DUCKS, his apprentice, being the Only part of the
crew left on board, rose upon the Americans, sit
in number, whom they completely mastered, kill-
ing the prize-master and One seaman, severely
wounding a third, and driving the rest down be-
low, whom they there secured. They afterwards
bore away for the Azores, and arrived at St.
Michael's the sth of July, much exhausted, from'
constant fatigue and privation of sleep. .The four.
surviving Americans were delivered to their Vice-
Consul, and from their declaration betore •the
Corregidor of that Island, the two deceased, and
particularly Cie prim-master, were men of uncom-
mon museuiar strength and size, and therefore the
attempt of the master, assisted by his apprentice
only, to regain the command of his vessel, was
the _more meritorious, from the -superiority, as
well as bodily strength, as in numbers o the
■ enemy. .
