to attempt the attack on our fquadron, for whidi
they confidered the civet:enflames as favourable. A
breeze fpringing up, however, they again returned

that it was oecafloned by a conflagration of the ene-
my's flotilla, which by tome means or other had
caught fire. It is reported alto, that tome of the
