By a gentleman from Dartmouth, we hear, that a few Days ago, as one of the piratical Ships of war (supposed to be the King-Fisher) was passing up the Sound between Martha's-Vineyard and the Elizabeth Islands, she stood into Tarpaulin Cove, close in with one of the Houses, where stood a Number of People without Arms, looking at the Ship; when, without the least Provocation they received a Number of Cannon Balls, and some Musket Shot, from the Ship, which obliged them to secure themselves: After which the Ship fired a Number of Cannon Shot at the House some, of which went through the same, and damaged several Barrels of Provisions &c. but happily no Person was killed or wounded. ー As soon as this was done, the ship immediately put about and came to Anchor at a considerable Distance from the Shore, and soon after made off.
