Wecineeday, Lundy island, bearing E. S. E. about
nine leagues, they saw several strange sail, two of
which were brigs lying to, bearing West about three
leagues--at 617.0 P.M. observed in company with said
two brigs, two ships, one sloop., and one pilot-boat,
aDo ping to—at five, then about a league distant,
saw the sloop on fire ; got alarmed and stood away ;
at half-past five saw the sloop go down—at six, saw
another of the vessels on fire until eleven—about
twelve think they saw fire at a great distance : one of
the two brigs first seen lying to was a black brig, of
about 16 guns, with the English ensign at the peak

upon seeing the vessel burnt, has no doubt she was an
enemy, probably an American, an excellent sailer.
