"Thursday, 3rd, commenced a pleasant light rain about ten P. M. At five A. M. Made a strange sail to leeward ; at six gave chase ; about seven gave her a gun and hoisted American colors ; she answered us with another and hoisted English col- ors. At half-past seven we engaged her and a regular and constant fire was kept up by both par- ties ; the enemy perceiving that we designed board- ing, manoeuvred his ship with great skill for considerable time. At half-past eleven got our mus- quetry to b...ear upon him — orders were given to hoist the red flag; (the red flag was the signal for 89 boarding. ) At twenty minutes past noon we got on the enemy's quarter. They perceiving that we meant boarding gave us several stern guns, which injured our sails and rigging very much. We kept up constant fire of great and small arms; at half- past one we received orders to board. He put his helm hard up to run us down ; his fore chains took our jib-boom and bow-sprit; he endeavored to haul down his colors and got them as low as the gaff.
