night to separate them by steering different courses

These two ships were French, and not Eagli,it

blunder in his shivering fit.
In short, nothing but cartels, transports and
gliftg metchar.tmen, became the prey of this Bucca-
neer, when he arrived off Charleston liar on his return
he seems to have been at his wit's cud %jilt down-
right terror. 'His manoeuvres to avoid the various
British cruizers statione,i off that harbour, ate de-
scribed with a minuteness which belong exclusively
to a hero of the. 'breed of .41,,,;0r Sturgeon. At one
time he cleated for action with a large vessel which
his fears magnified into.a man of war, but the firing of
a few guns gave him to understand that a squadron
was at hand, and he most heroically sheered.

Now we suspect there was no scinadma whatever near
Monsieur Itomicas, when he thus took to his heels—,
nay we have our doubts whether he ever in his life offet
ed b Ade to a " man of War." In the concluding, part
of his narrative he weruld hiArg, his employers to
lieve that the English squadron off Sandy Hook al-
' lowed him tQ pass from.fwiag afraid of him, but let
Sim tell the story himself r "From the Delaware I
