to do the next best thing-run her ashore. So, after throwing overheard all her guns except those In the hatches, we put the ship about and steered straight for the nearest land; but be- fore we could reach it Le Bonnet Rouge grounded on a sand bank with a shock that made her shiver from stem to stern; the main mast snapped like a stick, and, as the top hamper came down with a run, the Frenchmen below, thinking their last hour was come, set up yell that might have been heard a mile off. ordered the brigs launch to be low cred, but she was hardly loosed from the tackles when one of the luggers and half a dozen boats came alongside; at the same time the brig's crew swarmed out of the port holes, and we were at tackled by force that outnumbered us ten to one.
 After hot fight of five minutes, dur ing which time as many of my men were killed and wounded, we were over powered and compelled to surrender. All of us who were not hors de combat | were taken to Havre de Grace and lodged in the town prison.
 Capt. Wharton, getting wind of what had happened, sent in a cartel (forward- ing at the same time my clothes and some money) with proposal to exchange me for French lieutenant whom he had captured few days previously; but the authorities of the port, having mean | while communicated with the directory and received orders to send me to Paris, refused.
 They had taken it into their heads Al Al royalists, and that the cutting out of Le Bonnet Rouge was to have been the signal for general rising.
 In no other way could they explain the temerity of twenty men in long boat attacking heavily-armcd brig, anchored under the guns of fort, and within pistol shot of half dozen gun boats and armed luggers.
 | was taken before the port captain and a juge de palx and closely qucs- toned as to the designs of the royalists and my part in the supposed conspiracy. But, as I knew nothing of the designs in question, and the conspiracy was purely imaginary, they naturally got but little out of me,
 A few days afterwards was sent tc Paris in post chaise, under so strong an escort as to render escape out of the question. Two gendarmes with cooked hats and half-cocked pistols sat oppo. site me all the way, and two fully armed dragons rode alongside.
 But it was by no means an unpleas ant journey. Being regarded as pris oner Of Importance, I fared well and was treated with great respect. l made friends with my companions, who were very good fellows, and saw more of Ia belle France than I had ever seen be lore.
