a schooner Of the same description in

or 90 tons burthen, armed with a pivOut
gun, and two Carriage guas, full of men.
They robbed the Jeun Henriette of part
of her cargo, all her light sails and boats,
cabin furniture, stores running rigging,

dreadfully beaten, in consequence of
some gold being found on his person. In
