On our passage from New York hither, we retook a vessel bound to the West Indies, on board of which an American privateer had put ten hands, and ordered her for Boston. A Master's Mate and twelve hands were sent from us to her, and the Americans were brought back. The Mate had orders to follow us to Antigua; but two days after he lost sight of us in a gale of wind; three days afterwards he fell in with an American privateer, who retook the vessel, and ordered her for Martinique, but before she reached that island, the Lady Keith armed schooner, made a capture of her, and carried her into Jamaica, from whence the Mate got a passage thither.
