The Unicorn returned into Port. She saw nothing the night of the 11th, but a small Schooner at which she fired a good many Cannon shot,1 and at length drove her ashore within point Judith, but in a situation where she durst not follow her. It is imagined she must have suffered considerably by the fire of the Ship.
An address was presented this day by the Principal Inhabitants of Newport, to Lord Howe, on his arrival in this Port.
