freight taken by every boat leaving the former port

quantity of powder and lead that she had on board
Among her freight thus seized, was ten thousand
dollars worth of lead and powder, destined to th
city, and very much larger quantity for Nashville
OF course the officers of the boat had no other nj
tentative than either to submit to the armed pirate
or else blow all hands up, by firing the powders
they chose to knock under
