"This day I received a letter from Captain White, dated St. George's, Grenada, Sept. 18, advising of his safe arrival there in the brig Charles, having left Capt. Rogers of the Hero at Barbadoes. In their passage to the West Indies they fell in with a privateer of 20 six pounders, which attacked the Hero Packet, Rogers, who engaged the privateer for three glasses, and beat her off. At the beginning of the action Capt. Rogers was wounded in two places, notwithstanding which he stood the quarter-deck all the time; his first Mate, the Supercargo, and four of his seamen, were also wounded; one of whom received five musket shot in different parts of his body. The Hero must have been taken if the Captain and his crew had not fought with the most resolute intre pidity. Soon after which, the two brigs, the Hero and the Charles, fell in with another privateer, which they obliged to sheer off, after each had poured a broadside into her.”
