Havre, at the retinal of the commander of the
light flotilla, had fent him feven fmall boats to fa-
cilitate the fervice in the road of Boulogne. When
they got oppofite Cucq, thefe boats were attacked
by an Engbill corvette, a brig, and feveral pin-
meet. Not being able to carry guns from their
fmall he, and the failors having no means of de-
fence, they were run afhore. The Englifh pin-,
naces had got poffeffon of two of them, when a
detachment of fifty men of the 5 t ft, who were on
guard, ran up. There brave fellows waded up to
their mi idle in the water, and opened fo brill( a
fire, that the Englifh were obliged to make off, and
to leave all the boats in our polfeffion, except the
two which were already out of mufleet fhot. It is
fuppofed that the Englifh (hips, which kept at
Tome di dance, fired alone 1500 (hots to favour this
expedition, and to return the fire of our brave fifty
foldiers. The enemy in a tingle pinnace had five
men killed. Our men were fo fcattered in the
water, that we had neither killed nor wounded.
