Majr [John] Crane with his field piece which was planted on Nantasket Beach to cover our retreat Sunk one of their Boats, and probably killd sundry of their crews as the Enemy approchd within 200 yards ー on our side we lost one man only, had two just graizd with Balls, we stove one of our Boats & was obledgd to leave it, we lost seven small arms part of which were lost in Landing, as the rocks were very steep some of the party slipt in & let go their guns to save themselves and we have 25 small arms and Accutriments brought off with US and concive there were more taken but have been secreted by some of the party

The above is as just and Exact accoumpt as I am able to give who am your &c.
