Six kega.of powder, lately taken kin the 'privateer

posited, for safe keeping, on the east ' side of the

to the battery for renewed action. So the battery
again opened its fire. Every gun - was 'double- shot. _

-nearly every shot bulled the brig,- smile . ' of
them piercing her between wind and water. The
action was now.hotter than in the morning, and was

his musket and anapping.her lock just over the gun's
flee. The gun wal ninally, fired \ by Simeciii Haley
ivho.cniee fired her by a musket's lock' when, the
musket was loaded with -two balls'. In the midst of

errand of relighting the match-rope; was 'struck 'in

to burn as fast as They could, giving the brig two
shots plump in- her'side at nearly every:tftseharge.=
Once they cut away her trysail-maid. andber colors
