The Dolphin's crew fought with great desperation on her deck, and the engage- ment was kept up many minutes longer, before the ves- sel was captured. The enemy took down her colours, and lost, in killed and wounded, nearly 50 men. On board the Dolphin, 4 men were wounded. At a harbour near Gwinn's Island, lieutenant St. Clair of the navy, who had previously distinguished himself as an able seaman, in the sloop of war Argus, anchored a small schooner, mounting two or three guns, and filled with ...armed men, to repel the depredations which the en- emy were, about that time, committing along the shores of the Chesapeake. He encountered a schooner, who hailed and ordered him to come on board with his boat, which being refused, an engagement followed, and ter- minated in silencing the strange vessel. She, however, renewed it, a second and a third time, and was as often silenced. The night was excessively dark, and when lieutenant St. Clair sent his boat to take possession, he discovered that she had made her escape, leaving him with one man wounded on board the schooner.
