Thursday, June 18th, [Liverpool, Nova Scotia]—Pleasant morning. Wind N. The Carteel is gone out.¹ A Fishing Boat, which Stephen Page, and some others redeemed from the Privateer, that was lately run on shore at Portmetway,² going out, was seized by the crew of the said Privateer, in the Harbour, and carried off. Two Privateers are seen to go by the Harbour. Rob. Lloyd, the owner of the said boat, comes for her, and brings me a line from Mr. Creighton to Assist him in gitting her, but he is too late, otherwise he would have her.³
