Rec'd several Shot in our Hull, and several of our shrouds and stays shot away. " OF EBENEZER FOX. 65 Benjamin Scollay, a very promising young man, who was, I think, a midshipman. At this moment a shot from one of our marines killed the man at the- wheel of the enemy's ship, and, his place not being immediately s...upplied, she was brought alongside of us in such a manner as to bring her bowsprit directly across our forecastle. Not know- ing the cause of this movement, we supposed it to be the intention of the enemy to board us. Our boarders were ordered to be ready with their pikes to resist any such attempt, while our guns on the main deck were sending death and destruction among the crew of the enemy. Their principal object now seemed to be to get liberated from us, and by cutting away some of their rigging, they were soon clear, and at the distance of a pistol shot.
