gallant corps was posted on the bank, WAC
thought the opportunity OF trying his rltle too
favorable to be missed. He accordingly
singled out the best dressed man on'board the

British Schooner, not suspecting iormida-
bic enemy SO neai, immediately opened
tremendous Ire OF great guns ant musquetry,
while the CaroinIan stood quite uDconcerDcd
behind large beech tree, and very eisurciy
reloaded his rifle. AS soon as the Brush
Stacked fire, he pecpee out from ochind his
covert and brought down another tall fellow.
The schooner now thought IL prudent to claw
off, and had just escaped out of rifle shot,
