thace loft evening, that part of the convoy, confining of two ketches
and one brig, that were running under the point of St. Guildas,
tacked and Rood after them in the [loop l commanded, and obliged
them to run on Store off the mouth of the river of Pennerf, and
having confideted it very poffible to cut them out in the night, as
the wind was diredtly off fhore, 1 difpatehed Lf:ut. Hawkins, in
the ha oared cutter, and Mr. Richard Statist, Matter, in the flat-

along the beach keeping up a heavy fire of mulketry on his boat,
Whited by two field pieces, and a party of troops on board the
tither tiro veffels (previoufiy embarked from the chore). After
vatting her table, and firing a conflderable time on the other Tafel
meat him, found it impotlible to do any thing with her, and very
properly left her to go to the affiance of the other boat, who had
by this thine bOardadthe brig, in defiance of a party of ten or twelve
toldiers, with their mulkets and fibres, killed fit of the troops,
hove two overboard, and drove the reit with the craw below.--
After cutting her cable, finding the war aground, and a light vclftl,
they returned with both boats on board, not thinking proper,
Yews' motives of humanity, to fet her on fire, as leveral people
West heard below, fuprofed to be wounded.

I am exceedingly lorry to Inform you, on the ftrft fire of the
ifoldkrs, one of our men, Henry Brenman, fail-maker, was killed,
and in boaiding two fcamen wounded, but arc in a fair way of re.
covering. When it is confidered that Mr. Borth', the matter, the
Serjeant of Marines, and five other men boarded this veffel (with
ten foldters on deck with charged bayonets), and performed what
they did, I unit you will fee and admire with me the very refolute
and gallant cantina. of Mr. Burftal, and the fix brave fellows
with him; indeed the &Seers and erewi in both boats de.
(mac the bight* praile, though unfortunately out of their rower
to bring the yeah eir, all three being fart aground within half a
cable's length of the beach, and the More entered with troops,
keeping an Irradiant fire with their meets and two field-pieces
on them. I had the pleafure to fee the b4g lying on a ridge of
rock. this Morning, apparently bilged. I am, Re.
