".Copies of Letters from Captains Mason and Bathurst, 'Orbit Mae
jostes Ships Daphne and &bent, addressed to Rear-Admiral
Sir Samuel Hood, and transmitted to the Hon. William Wel-
• lesley Pole by Viie-Admiral •
aitses Saumares.
His Majesty's Ship D4lnte, April 26, 1808, off Lessor.
Sir—Judging froni the cargo of the sloop destroyed
on the 22d, that the rest ofthe enemy's vessels at
.Flodstrand were also loaded with provisions, and de-
stined for the relief- of Norway, I conceived it Iv be
an object to attempt getting them out ; and the offi-
cers and crews of both ships having volunteered, I,
last night, sent three boats from this ship, and the
Tartarus two, all under the direction of Lieutenant
William Elliot, Firs: cf the Daphne, accompanied by
Mr. Hugh Stewart, Master • Lieutenant Boger of
the Royal Marines ; and Messrs. Beazely; Durell,
Elliot, Moore, and Aytoli, Midshipmen; and Lien.
tenants Gittins and Patterson, and Messrs. Septford,
Lussman, and Andrews, Midshipmen of the Tarta-
rus. They were towed near the shore by the Ft rward
gun-brig. They found' the vessels mote-ed close under
the fort of the castle, which mounts ten guns, with
hawsers fast to the shore ; and immediately on get- .
ting to them the alarm was given by some Danish
boats, the Danes instantly forsook the vessels, and
the castle and three other guns began, and kept up a
heavy fire of round, grape, and musketry ; many of
the shot went through the hulls and sails of the ves-
sels ; netvithstanding which the five boats cleared
the herbeur of all but two brigs, both light, and one
of them with neither sails nor rudder. As no credit
can accrue but to those who planned and executed
this cnterprize, I trust, sir, I may be allowed to ex-
press to yGu my admiration of the steady dolour and
good conduct of Lieutenant Elliot (whose behaviour
at all times led me to expect it from him); as well
as every officer and man employed in it. He speaks
in the strongest terms of the courage and steadiness of
the officers; petty-officers, seamen, and marines of
both ships. I am happy, Sir, to add, that the lost
is very trifling on either side, which I am surprised
at,' having observed from the ship the heavy fire kept
up by the enemy. A Danish boat, with fivetnen'in,
having the temerity to persist in endeavouring to re-
take one of the vessels, although repeatedly warned
by Lieutenant Elliot, tbe: latter was obliged with his
people to fire in their own defence, and three of the
five fell ; on our side there were three wounded by
the enetpy, and one by itlistake, but none badly.
Amongst the iermer is Lieu6anant Elliot, which, with
his being an Old Lieutenant, and. a very deserving
officer, will, I Itrast, be an additional inducement
with you to reconirriend him to the notice of my
-Lords Commissioners. of the inclose a
list of the wounded. There is a man slightly wounded
belonging to the Avtarus but I have not learnt the
nature of his wounds. All but my 'First Lieutenant
