This done, I laid an embargo on seven sail vessels lying in this port. After which, I lay here several days wait ing for the Quebec fleet; during which time none of the inhabitants suspected my being an enemy. On the 2j\h at 2 P. M. There was a report brought me by some of my officers who had come on board from the shore, that there were two English vessels back of the Island, and that they appeared to be standing round this Island to gain the harbour where we were. On hearing this, I went alof...t, from whence, with a spy-glass, I could plainly perceive a large ship, which had the appear ance of a frigate of twenty-eight guns, and a cutter mounting fourteen guns, both having English colours flying; and I was the more confident that they were enemies, as I could see that the cutter s sails set quite different from those of her size belonging to the French nation. In this state of perplexity I was somewhat at a loss to know what was best to do first; for I was sensible that no time was to be lost.
