Although so heavily armed and manned, it [99] PERILOUS TIMES was not intended to have the Intrepid go on a general cruise; her mission being to transport a cargo of dry goods valued at half a million dollars from l'Orient, France, to Baltimore. It was an errand of unusual danger. Cut off from their ordinary supplies from the Old World, the colonists experienced difficulty in securing the ordinary necessities of civilization. Nearly all of our regular cruisers had been cap- tured or destroyed so... that the only avenue of communication with the outside world was by means of a few heavily armed, fast-sailing craft which were specially prepared to make quick runs to and from foreign ports. The war with England was still on and (though British commerce had been almost swept from the seas) English cruisers were swarming about our ports and coast, eager to intercept and punish the daring seamen who had occasioned them such unprecedented injury. It was Captain Brown's duty to slip through the meshes of network the Admiralty had woven about our coast, elude their swiftest cruisers [100] WRECKED on the high seas, gain the French port and bring the precious cargo to Baltimore in safety.
