il had been Just placed over the mast heads
The Saratoga had ffy-ive round shot 10
her hull ; the Coniance one hundred and FIVE.
The enemy's shot passed principally just over
our heads, as there were not 20 whole ham,
mocks in the neilings at the close of the ac-
ion, which lasted without intcrnission two
hours and twenty minutes.
The absense and sickness Of Lieut.. Ray
moDd Perry, left me without the services of
that excellent officer much ought fairly 10 be
attributed to him for his great care and atten-
lion in disciplining the ships crew, as her
first lieut.. His place was filed by gallant
young officer Lieut.. Peter Gamble, who,
'egret to inform you, was killed early in the
action. Acting Lieut. VaIlette worked the ist
and I'd divisions OF guns with able effect.
Sailing master Brum's attention TO the springs,
and in the execution OF the order TO wind the
ship and occasionally at the guns, meets with
my entire app~bbation,also Capt. Young, COM
manding the acting marines, who took his men
10 the guns. MIR. Beale, purser, was OF great
service at the guns, and in carrying my orders
throughout the ship, with Midsbipman Mont
gomeIy. Masters mate Joshua Justin, had
command of the Sd division his, conduct Dur
ing the action was tha, Of brave and cot
rec, officer. Midshipman Monteath, Graham,
Williamson, Platt, Thwing, and acting mid
shipman Baldwin, all behaved well, and gave
evidence of their making valuable officers.
The Saratoga was twice set on fire by hot
shot from the enemy's ship.
/ close sir, this communicates with feelings
OF gratitude for tho able support received
from every officer and man attached TO the
squadron which have the honor TO COM
mand.
have the honor to be, with great respect,
sir, your most obedient servant,
L. MACDONOUGH.
