proved to bi a French gun brig, which, in company
with eight others, had come out of Dunkirk, to go
to Boulogne, the general depot for fuch fort of craft.
She was chafed by the &nitric gun brig, who coming
up with her gave her one broadfide, when the (truck;
the had on board twenty fir foldiers, and eleven
failors ; the wind coming off the French land, had
blown them off their own fhore ; the is a low built
veffel, about 56 feet long, and 24 feet wide, with
a poop abaft to give headroom in the cabin ;
and from the poop to the foreman, her hatches take
off, to let the foldiers (land on the platform below,
and fire over her fide, their heads only being fern;
the had a long heavy gun forward, and a aunt brats
:4•poundera abaft.—Being a very bad railer, the
Bemis& took her in tow, and it is fuppofed the
(trained, being very weak. After towing her well,
in with the land, they left her ; after which it was
dircovered that the leaked very much, and the heavy
gun forward nulled the water to run that way; the
pump being abaft, it was nearly ufelefs; after having
in vain endeavoured to bail her, and attempting to
run for Dover, the became water logged, and fell
over on her broadfide. In this Rare the run in near
our picr, and between eleven and twelve, P. M. the
fentries on duty heard their cries, and alarmed Come
of our boatmen, whu went off, and picked up a mid-
thipman, two Icemen, and two Frenchmen; two
Englith feamen. and nine Frenchmen, were wafhed
overboard, and droehed. The veffel warped round
into our bay, where the lay until morning. when
our boatmen went off. and having faftened ropes
to her, and cur away the long gun, which had
fallen overboard, they fuccecded in getting her this
tide into oar pier: being under water, but little
can be judged of what damage Ike has gut. When
the tide leaves her to-morrow, I will acquaint
you of further particulars. The public may judge
of the difference between our gun boats and thole of
the enemy ; theirs though afloat will not bear to be
towed along ; while our gun brig the Muir lay in
our harcifitore fix or levee days, and though it blew
fret* molt of the time, came off without being bilged.
and is now fafe in our Pier. I learn from the
Frenchmen fared, that there are no gun boats at
Dunkirk, for as they are finithed they are all tent
to Boulogne. The foldier fays, there are not above
anoo men at Dunkirk, bat at Boulogne he thinks
there are about to, or rsomo. The pion of joyad„,
ing England in fuels kind of craft he fays is execrated
by the foldiers.
