.4y letter of the
.14th of November, a clnpii-;:
which is enclosed, will have given your Ex-
- account of the proceedings of the ships
under my orders ur to that date.
I. the vessels in the piratical port of
awning to twenty, nine of them large
Inn without any loss on our.side, .tp-
lying abandoned the town on the a
ships.
ttempuble holds of the Jowasmees called
Ider, Mallam, and Hemeram, were next
but no vessels were there.
spafched the cruiiers Ternate and Nauti-
eastward of Eishma to prevent the escape
(rates, while I entered the channel be-
island and the Main at the western end ;
got the ship I command a-ground in gn-
- work through it, as I had no pilot ac-
the Navigation, and as I found the
too intricate to pass without buoying
rich would have taken up too much
determined to proceed to Luft by the eastern
leaving the cruizer Vestal to guard the Nres-
, of Itishma.
Majesty's ship the Caroline had been pre-
detached to Burka Road with the heavy
.transports.
On the Slleh ult. the Tetnate and Nautilus joined ;
shaving procured piloti at It ishem, I proceeded up
Channel in his Majesty's ship wider n'ir command,

with the ships and vessels named in the margin 40, and.
arrived off the totvn of Luft on the 26th at neon.—..
Twenty-four hours having been expended in fruitless
negotiation with the Chiefiloola HiEssum ; the Ter-
nate, Nautilus, and Fu.ry were anchored off the town,
and the •troops, preceded by the gun boats, approach-
ed to the attack, which commenced at two o'clock in
the afternoon of the 27th ult.

The enemy made no resistance until the troops
came close to the very strong for And attempted to
force the gate ; he,then commenced a fire, I am sorry
to say, most destrdctive, as your Excellency will see
by the accompanying return, added to that of Lieu.
tenant-Colonel Smith, to the Government: The Pi-
ratical vessels, eleven in humber, three of them very
large dows, were in the mean time bin at by the Sea-
men ; and the gun-boats and the Cruizer Fury, which
being of light draught of water, had been towed within
musket-shot of the fort, kept up a ruinous fire, which
very much shattered it by sunset ; the Sheik then con,
seined to yield, up the place on the following day to
the English, on the part of the Imaum of Muscat.
together with all the property in it belonging to his
Highness's subjects; this was accordingly carried
into effect, the Sheik departing after Lieutenant-Co-
lonel Smith and myself had guaranteed his personal
safety.
_ _ _

The fort having been delivered in trust for the
Imaum to Sheik Dewish, the head of the Benismairi,
a tribe_ of Arabs who have always been firmly attach:
to his Highness, I sailed next morning in La Chif-
forme,' leaving the Mornington to bring on the cruizers
and the transport to Burka, off which place I anchor-
ed this day.
The several officers and men employed with me,
behaved so as to merit my warmest approbation.—
The Marines, under Lieutenant Drury, were landed
with the troops ; and Lieutenant Crichton, of the
Chiffonne, assisted with a party of seamen in drag-
ging the howitzer close to the fort.
The loss of the enemy has been very great ; he
acknowledged to upwards of fifty, independent of
those who were killed in the towers adjacent to the
fort, and driven over precipices to the eastward
thereof. I have, &c.
