We mentioned in our last that the Rose Man of War, with her Fleet of Tenders and Prizes, lay near the West End of Fisher's Island ー On Friday [September 1] between 3 & 4 o'clock, P.M. the whole, ten in Number, made Sail, stretched across the Mouth of this Harbour, then bore away and went round the West End of Fisher's Island. About an Hour before they came to Sail they took a Sloop (Capt. M'Gibbon) bound out from this Harbour, with a Cargo of Horses, regularly cleared for Jamaica, whom they carried into Newport, where she still remains.¹ On Saturday one of the Men of War's Tenders got on Shagwagoneck Reef, when the Guns were taken out by another Tender, and she afterwards drifted on Plumb-Island.

Last Wednesday Se'nnight a two Mast Boat, with a Number of young Men and Women in her, went from this Place to Fisher's-Island, where they landed, and soon after a Tender came alongside of the Boat, when three of the Men who had been in her, returned on board, for the Protection of some Things they had left in her; but they were carried on board the Rose Man of War, and the Boat pillag'd of every Thing in her, (among which was a Parcel of Women's cloathing) they also stole from one of the Men two 40s. Bills, and five Dollars. On Application being made by the Father of one of the young Men and another Person, for their Discharge, they were only answered by captain [James] Wallace, with Oaths and Execrations, and threatened with being detained on board themselves.
