Eyrie! of a letter from an Officer of the DUNCAN,
of 38 guns, one of our cruizer. in the Eafl Indies, to
his brother at Rnmfey, dated on board !'Amelia
prize, at lea, November 25, e 805 :
" Since my left, we have taken, three prizes, for one of which
we have paid rather dear. On the tith of Otlober we chaced a
large convoy from Bourbon to the ifle of France, all of which, en•
cept one 'loop, efcaped, and got into St. Denni,'s. The Firit Lit u•
tenant And myfeif volunteered to go in and cut out what we could.
We were out all one night, but did nothing, having got to lee•
ward of the port. On the Lark we made a (mond attempt with
the launch and two cutters. We rowed four hours, and at one
A. M. found the convoy at anchor In St. Dennis's. To our great
furprife, we diteovered In a few minutes that we were dole to a
five gun battery Menfieur was walking with his mufket acrofs
his (boulder. We bad no time to (pare, for the other two boat.
were half a league altern. A grand falute from the battery and
armed flips loon convinced in of our perilous fituation The that
muse all around Os, but fortunately none hit u•. We made our
belt way to the Mop above mentioned, and were welcomed by
her with a volley of truantry. However, we hoarded, drove out
the French, and took poffeffion of her. We were loon In a
more perilous fnuation than before: it fell a dead calm, which
continued for au hour, and left us expored to the fire of the batte-
ries and armed fltips. Soon after the other boats came up, with
mott of their crews wounded. A fatal that came, and the Flea
Lieutenant was no more. It appearing impoffible to do any rood
with our prise, the launch and the lift boat endeavoured to get us
off ; but when all were taken out, eleept myleif and two men, a
noble breeze fprung up and wafted us out lull as we were finking,
with fa feet water, and a full cargo of rice. We providentially
brought our prize lately off, though the French espedted to fee us
go to the bottom."
