[Extract]
Capt Manley took two Prizes last week & to save himself was obliged to run his Vessel a shore at North River & left her; the enemy boarded her, but Manly gave them such a heavy fire, that they were obliged to quit her, taking nothing, save one Swivel gun which gun he some time before borrowed of them.
