He had sent in, but a few days before, a prize loaded with raisins; and, not long afterwards, another loaded with butter. These two vessels were not the only ones he had taken, During a cruize of only 28 days he had captured eight more, including a Danish and a French brigantine, called the Town of Bayonne, from the port of Rouen, master's name Peter Regnier, whom he had the rashness to take, notwithstanding the neutrality of their colours, and the respect which he owed them. The French brigantine was from a port in the West of England, entirely laden with bale goods upon freight, bound for Genoa and Leghorn. This cruizer, or rather pirate, Wm. Coles, after having taken the vessel, sent it to Boston, taking first out all the crew, 'except the master and two sailors: 2 meeting afterwards with a French ship going from St. Malo to Cadiz, he put on board of her the crew of his capture.
