The commodore hauled his wind again ; and in the course of an hour we came up with the ship, which proved to be ' The Holderness, ' a three-decker, mounting twenty- two guns. She struck after giving her several broadsides. Al though she had more guns, and those of heavier mettle, than ourselves, her crew was not sufficiently large to manage her guns, and at the same time work the ship. She was loaded with cotton, coffee, sugar, rum, and allspice. While we were employed in manning her out, our c...ommodore captured another, and gave her up to us to man also. When this was accom plished, it was nearly night : we were, however, unwilling to abandon the opportunity of enriching ourselves ; therefore kept along under easy sail. Some time in the night we found our selves surrounded with ships, and supposed we were discovered. A BROADSIDE OR TWO. 219 We could distinctly hear their bells, on which they frequently struck a few strokes, that their ships might not approach too near each other during- the night.
