The ship Bee, Captain Wallace, of Topsham, was, on his return from the Grenades, met, and taken by an American privateer. On Captain Wallace's being carried aboard the privateer;he told the Captain his was the last vessel an American should have taken. On being asked for what reason, he replied, that his owner had kept him at home for twelve months, because he would not lett his vessel as a transport against the Americans. The American, doubting the truth of this relation, said, he thought Wallace endeavoured to impose on him, and if he found it so, would punish him severly for it; but sending an officer on board the capture to interrogate the men separately on the subject, and having the Captain's story confirmed by their united accounts he credited it, and said, although the vessel was then his, he would return ship and cargo, only supplying himself with such things as he wanted, and taking 50 bags of Cocoa, 20½ casks and a pipe of Madeira wine, discharged Wallace, wishing him a good voyage.
