the same scene, made an apology:

In our Paper of Wednesday, we recorded the gal-
trt but unsUccestfol attempt of the boats of the
Nun) frigate to capture some French armed vessels
en the coast of Ireland, We regret to state that
rentenant AxonEws, who commanded the second
Iv, and three more fled, ate since dead of their
wounds.

The Very meritorious and humarte conduct of Mr.
WATsox, Acting Lieutenant of his Majesty's
O'n ANGUART), who leAped o'verboard lately in the
Sea and Cutegat, and rescued from a watery
riTe two seamen and a boy, the latter in the Great
lea, when the current Way funning from three to four
lots, merits the highest encomium for such a dis,
bNished act of humanity.
