DOVER, FEB. 14.
The schooner which I mentioned in my letter of
yesterday to have escaped from a French lugger re.
vateer, would have been lost afterwards on the rocks
off this harbour, had not one of our boats gcnz
and put a pilot on board to conduct her to Rani,-
gate (it being low water) : there were three men ly-
ing on the deck when the boat went alongside, either
killed or desperately wounded ; but, owing to the.
heavy sea then nipping, the boatmen could not re-
main alongside to get the particulars, nor do they
know her name. From what we could observe from
the shore, the crew of the schooner deserve the greatest
credit possible for the very judicious manner wh:ch
they manceuvered her, in frustrating the attemrts
of the Frenchmen to board, and particularly when
the lugger got so near as to throw a grapnel on
board, the line of which our brave fellows cut, and
also for firing every opportunity into the privateer.—
I am sorry to add that two of the artillery men were
dreadfully hurt in Archcliffe Fort, whilst loading
gun that had just been fired, the remains of the tar•
mer cartridge not being extinguished, set fire to the
one they were ramming down, and exploded it :
one of the unfortunate men died this morning, and
the other is not expected to survive.
Passed by this day the Martha, WHITE, front
