EXTRACT OR A LETTER FROM TORTOLA, 231) ARIL,
1801, TO A MERCANTILE HOUSE IN BRISTOL.

" It is with much concern I :lave to Rate to
you, the (hip Union Hand, and /loop Sally, the
18th inftant, Tortola bearing S. S. W. dißant
about 7o miles, fell in with a French privateer, a
large fchooner pierced for 14 guns, as full of men
as the could flow. About three o'clock p. as. She
came up under the (hip's (tern, preferring a con-
Rant and heavy !bower of mt:fimetry. The air
was light, and prevented the !hip's wearing to as
to give her a broadfide ; in the attempt the fchoon-
er's Aying jib-boom got engaged in the main
&muds ; the grappled, and the boarders were in-
ftantaneoufly and with the greateft confidence get-
ting up her fides: they were however received
with Ileadinefs and perfeverance, and thole who
efcaped the mufket were thrufl down headlong in-
to the lea with boarding pikes; not one of the
enemy effected a footing on board. A warm ac-
tion then took place, chiefly with (mall arms, for
three-quarters of an hour, when the Captain of
the privateer, leading on his men to make another
effort to board, was Ihot dead in the fhrouds. The
fchooner then pulhed off, and luffing up under the
Rein fired a broadfide, a fix-pound (hot from
which carried Away the tiller chain, rendering the
veffel unmanageable, and enabled the enemy. to
' make his efcape. The braces, running rigging,
and fails, are terribly cut vp. and the quarters and
Rein are like a riddle : there are 98 Shot holes in
the lower part of the mizen alone. From the con-
current teftimonftif Captain Massa, the paffen-
gers and crew, there could not have been left than
men on board the privateer; and their 101 l in
killed and wounded mull have been great, from
the fh-eants of blood that were fees flowing from
her fcuppers when the hauled off. lam !iffy to
add the (hip's Ids was alb fevere, though lets than
might have been expelled. Two men were killed,
the Captain and four men dangeroufly wounded,
and one Rightly ; they are all however better; and
I entertain hopes, with a change of climate, of
their fpeedy recovery. The floop's main boom was
carried away by a (hot after the dole Of the anion
(in which (he did not partake,) and they both bore
away at fun-let, and are arrived fate at this port to
repair the injury fuftained. and I truft will get
way in three or four days, in company with
force other armed rails. I had left the Union
Illand the evening of the 16th, to the northward
of the Dog and Bear, and bore away for St.
Croix, and have fines come up here, in confe-
quenee of hearing of the melancholy accident that
has taken place. Capt. Doe it ait was wounded early
in the anion, but perfevoed on deck, encouraging
his crew, and perfonally refining the attempts of
the boarders. Two young gentlemen, paffengers
from St. Vincent (Mr. R. Maitland and Mr. T.
Spier), behaved handfomelv, and were very aftive
during the whole of the stray; the former Riot
the Captain of the privateer in the very alt of
jumping on board. Capt. Doaseit has alto jolt
realin to be fatisfied with the condna and fteadi-
nefs of the whole of his officers and crew through-
out the hairnet's. I have been thus particular in
my communication to you, being well convinced
that the fpirited def,.nce again( Inch fuperior
numbers, and under circarnftances where the can-
non of the (hip were rendered in a manner ulelefs,
will be gratifying to the underwriters, and will
not pats unnoticed by them. Underneath I give
