Thursday Se'nnight, [December 14] died at Conanicut, of the Wound he received in Capt. Wallace's late Expedition to that Island, Capt. John Martin, aged 77 Years.
Saturday last [December 16] the Bomb Brig and some Tenders landed a Number of Men at Brenton's Neck, in Quest of Hay; but a Party of our Men approaching to attack them, they thought proper to re-embark rather hastily, without accomplishing their Design.
Last Sunday Afternoon the Swan, Capt. Ayscough, the Bomb Brig, and several Tenders, came up the Bay, and anchored near Dyer's Island, from whence they took some Hay, burnt a considerable Quantity, and killed two Horses.
