Amor & the many exploits, We have not heard OF an
instance which surpssses in cool DARING the conduct
Of Leu.ensnis Lindsey and Thistiethwste, of the
Scots Fusleer Guards, the Queen color being carried

danger 70 which the co0rswere exposed rushed to the
relief and with revolver pistol, shot three of the
