"A very pretty affair happened here last week. A small boat from the Eastward, commanded by Capt. Adamson,¹ with ten men and 6 swivels, went into Oyster-Bay, and fell in with the Tender of the ship Raven; the tender mounted 8 swivels, had nine men on board with wall-pieces, and every way equipt to make a vigorous resistance, but the boat after discharging her swivels and small arms, boarded and carried her in a very gallant manner, and the next morning bro't her into this harbour. The tender had on board 3 hogsheads of rum, several casks of bread, beef and other articles for the ship, with some dry goods. The Raven is hovering round the harbour continually and seems quite disconsolate at the loss of her young."
