and the enemy suffering severely, attempted to carry
the Astrea by boarding, but were rePulied in this. at-

they were soon replaced by our gallant tars, who

companions fall, and after a hard fought pion of
48 minutes, the privateer escaped, and was' not.able
to be pursued, as both ships were much damaged in
their rigging and hulls.
