dered her for Falmouth.
- The chasing this ship had taken me some
distance of my ground, and, owing to Gains,
could not regain it until the 18th ult. when
at sunrise sail were discovered ahead, and
we made sail in chase. The wind being
light, we came slowly up with them. On
nearer approach they proved to be two
ships and brig. One of me ships had all
the appearance Of large transport; & aom
their menoeuvres they appeared to- have
concerted measures for a mutual defence !;
and the large ship ppeared prepared to
take the bulk of an action. Boats were seen
passing to and from her she had boarding
MEETINGS almost up to her tops; she also had
her topmast studding sail booms out, with
the sails at their ends, ready for running
fight. Her ports appeared to be painted, *
she had something on deck resembling a
merchantman's boat aud, after all, what
the deuce do you think she was ?--Why
have little patience and will tell you.
"At3 p. m. a sudden squall struck us

appeared so great similarity in their testi
