At twelve o'clock, M., on the 13th Sept., 1812.
Licut. W. was seated on the southern front : of Fort
Constitution i'at his side lay the spy-glasS, and at
his feet a largeNewfoundlainkdog—a great favorite
of all in the garrison. The day was warm; and al
though the !MD was shining brightly,-yet: at the east
was observed a haze, indicative of a storm. The
soldiers were.scattered about—some fishing,from the
rocks; others from a cutter or the captain's gig, while
others were laying flit, sleeping beneath the side of
the breastwork of the fort, or under some gun•car
doge. For several weeks nothing had occurred. of
an exciting nature, and some of the volunteers sigh
ed fur a i return to the happiness of the domestic cir
cle, and the delights of the pleasant town in which
they lived. The amusements common to a soldier's
life had lost much of their zest, and the fife and drum
had in a measure ceased to fill therm with that ex
citement it was wont to Ili. Once, a fleet of two
frigates and a sloop of war appeared off the harbor,
sailing south ;jhut although the signals were fixed to
announce the approach of the enemy, and the town
alarmed, yet the ships did not make for the port, but
passed out of sight. The Sutler was the most inter
ested among the troops; his business did nut - flag—for
what was needed from want of gamer excitement
Was made up from his 4oris—these being the days
when to drink got;d cheer was part of the soldier's,
as well as te-eitizen's life. This good man has with
in a few years died, but his memory is embalmed in
the hearts of relatives and friends who knew him.
We have listened with delight to his relatiOns of the
times, when darkness and trouble hung over the land.
His son, new a respectable minister of the gospel,
will appreciate, we tiusi, this nitinte to departed
worth.
The Lieutenant applied the glass to his eye, and
in the distant east saw what he thought might be a
sail, although the haze rendered the object indistinct;
he called to a soldier who was near him to look, and
their conclusion was the same; it appeared to be a
fore and oft" rigged vessel, with a topsail, and as
she approached, a jib and eying jib with a gait top
sail were distingushed. British cruisers scoured the
coast to such an extent, and the enemy's privateers
were so numerous, that .bost of the smaller vessels
were laid up, and a vessel of this peculiar rig Was
pronottii& to be a privateer; but to w hatliatiun she
brlonged, it was impossible to tell, as she showed no
colors. Her spars were light but lofty, and had that
rakish look which our Baltimore Clippers now have.
Her course was south—beating against the wind,
which was south-west. Soon another sail was dis
covered a few points further east—a square rig—a
ship standing upon the same course. Several of the
garrison were now upon the platform watching the
strangers. The ship was largo end some`supposed
her to be a sloop of war or a frigate of the second
class. She was under full canvass and beating up as
the schooner was doing. There was no ensign or signal
flying, by which her nation could be distinguished,
but the conclusion formed among all who looked on
was that she was a cruiser in chase of the schoo
Forgive us for alluding at, this moment to stocks ;
the very word amid their depression almost produ
ces disgust; but a minature broker's board was estab
lished from the scene which was going on. There
was a little old man—some say he is of Jewish ex
tract, who volunteered his services at the fort, to save
board, etc., his business being suspended by the war.
He was actively engaged in canvassing the views of
those who like himself held a few shares of privateer
stock. it What will you take for your share in the
Fox or Thomas," he was sure that the schooner was
one of these vessels, but whether she had been captu
red, or taken an enemy's ship, was equally in the
dark. No buyers were found, and bad there been,
sellers would have been afraid to make sales under
such peculiar circumstances. The little schooner
came bravely on, and although the night was draw
ing near and the haze thickening, still it was hoped
She might reach the harbor that night if she wished
so to do. While all eyes were rivened upon the ap
proaching vessel, the tbig was watching something
in the opposite quarter.
His eye was fixed intently upon an object, either
a cloud or sail ; he pawed the Lieutenant's hand,
and with the signs which were in his power, led
him to look with his glass in the same direction. A
sail was now visible towering full and high, like a.
white cloud, and in a little time it was seen that
it could only belong to - a vessel of large size.
The wind was blowing fresh, and directly on her
quarter—so that her run was not less than ten knots
an hour. The Lieutenant sent a messenger to the
Captain, and his immediate presence answered the
request of his attendance at the platform. He put
his eye to the glass, first looking at the schooner and
the ship at the east—then to the large ship at the
south and west. Without replying to the men col
lected around, be took the Lieutenant aside, and
from his troubled brows, it was evident that danger
was expected. A few minutes was passed when the
dr'urn beat to quarters; and was answered by the re
turn of the fishers, and all the garrison were under
arms. "We are to have a fight at last," was the
current remarks among the regulars, and the more
spirited of the volunteers, while paleness marked the
cheek of some who thought of wite,ichildren or
fr.ends at home. The private signal was given at
Fart McCleary, and the other forts in the harbor, of
the approach of an enemy.
The two vessels at the leeward were now need)
within cannon shot, but as yet neither of them made
any signal—the night was fast coming on, and as
the wind was now increasing it was doubtful if the
vessel could inakethe port in safety, as 'thither had
made a signal for a pilot. A flash and a heavy re
port sent a shot directly across the haW _ the ship
from the south, and it-was immediately answered by
the hoisting of the English ensign at the peak. Two
tiers of ports were visible. She was under a heavy
press of canvass with studdingils set. We must
again cease her and visit other bcencs.
• On July 15th, 1812, the private - armed schooner
Thomas sailsortsmouth. She Was built ex
pressly for the business in which she was - to be pla
ced—care was had to the - strength and finish omod

with raking masts tightly rigged, very Much like the

burnt the vessels. After cruising several weeks With
out'reeting any thing of particular interest, on the
lath of September, at day-light, a sad was discovet
ed--Khose was immediately given, end with caeca
ty,, which showed their desire and hopes for prize
money, hands to went quarters, Every rag of can
was pat upon the schooner, the deck was cleared, all
things put in trim ; the officers were busy with their
glasses, and it •Was soon ascertained that. the sail
Was a large merchant ship, of that heavy" build
which rendered it certain she was English. The
spars of our:little erafi groaned under the press of
canvass; and - she cut the water like a thing of life."
The boll of thi)ship was visible fro n the deck of
the Thomas,littit it was not decided by her crew
whether she Wei armed or not. Presently, however,
a shot passed across the bow - of the schooner, which
fettled this point, and-the American'flag was hois
ted at the peak of the Thomas—while an old tar
suggested a few nails should be put into the bun
ting to keep it in place. It was determined to take
the ship if possible by boarding, and for this purpose
the helm was put down. The ship having hoisted
the British ensign, began now to fire4rom her stern
guns, but the shot passed over the schooner or fell
short of her. Clear away the long Tom," cried
the Captain of the Thomas. 'Aye, nye, sir,'—and a
shot struck the ship which told fearfully upon . her
quarter rail, ond.wounded several men who'were on
the quarter deck. Try him again—and the mizzen
top mast shiven d and came tumbling over the side.
The ship tried hard to get to windward, but the su
perior working of the privateer prevented this. She
was now ithin piste) shot of the enemy. The ship
luffed to throw in her brood-side; but ere it could be
.brought to bear, the jib-boom of the schooner bad
struck between the main and mizzen masts. All
hands were ready to board—the bold Yankees were
upon the chains of the ship, when she struk, her co
lors. She proved to be from South America fur
London with a valuable cargo. Her crew consisted
of twenty foul men, and she carried eight guns.
Having placed his Lieutenant on board with, twei ty
men, arid leaving twelve of the prisoners, the Cap
tain of the Thomas gave orders that a jury topmast
should be fitted in the place of the one carried away.
This was soon done, and bath bore away fur Ports
mouth. The expectations of the crew were now ful
ly realized=-a rich cargo, a good ship, and without
loss of life or expenditure of ammunition. They in
dulged in happy reveries; and no greater contrast
could be than was presented by the happy captors

The three vessels were now within cannon shot,
and the frigate began to fire upon the schooner, but
she was not silent. Shot after shot was fired from
the long gun upon the forecastle, some of which
struck the frigate. The captured .hip was put in the
hest state for defence, and orders were given in case
of probable capture, to fire her, and for the crew to
escape in the boats—cither to the schooner or make
the land. The night had now nedily set in, and the
flashes of the guns ger° seen from the fort. No
doubt now existed to the character of the vessels,
and a large number of the garrison volunteered logo
to the assistance of the privateer in the boats; they
were however refused, ar.d every man was ordered
to his particular station in the fort as the nearer ap
proach of the frigate might render it necessary to
commence firing upon her. There was two rocks
off the fort culled the '. Sisters," and a dangerous
shoal, named from its resemblance to the animal,
'Whale's Back;" by making a passage through these
rocks, the privateer would be able to get into the
harbor, and once under the guns of the fort, she
would be safe. The extreme danger of such an at
tempt with a head wind would have deterred any
one bat the indomitable spirit of the crew of the
vessel. How to secure her prize was a question of
great difficulty; she drew too much water to pass
over the shoal ; it was therefore resolved to send a
large number of men on board from the privateer,
and, under cover of the dusk, it was done. Com
bustibles were et hand—the boats were launched,
with muskets and side-Orms placed in them, and ev
ery precaution adopted for either saving or destroy
ing the ship. The privateer had now leached a po
sition between the rocks—the frigate was thunder
ing upon her with het bow guns—the Woodside of
the schooner was now brought to bear, and the shot
froth the guns of the fort began to reach the frigate.
One struck the ship between wind and water, killing
several men,aa it passed through between the decks;
the trize ship was also firing with her bow guns,
and amid the cheers of all, the main-topmast of the
frigate was split by a cannon shot, and` carried
away. '
This accident checked thr course of the ship, and
for a while her guns sere silent, to give them time
to clear away the wreck of the mast. The privateer
had but a short distance to make in order to he out
of the reach of danger. The shot of the fort told too
severely upon the frigate to allow her to venture near
er, and the prize now worked slowly around Whale's
Back, just giving it length enough to save ground
ing, as she passed the frigate she fired her broadside;
hearty cheers now rent the air. The firing had at
tracted crowds to the pesetal points above the fort,
and the merry ringing of the oella announced to the
town the cheering e v ent—our friend the shareholder
was in ecstacies, blessed the day when privateers
were first fitted out, and only lamented the expendi
ture of powder and shot, used by the schooner in de
fending herself and prize. The frigate had now pas
sed too far ,to the east to be reached by the guns of
the fort.
It was proposed by some to capture her in boats,
but her heavy force prevented this from being carri
ed into effect. The next morning she Was seen of
a great distance laying too; repiiring her damages.
Lively times that night et the fort—each soldier re
lated what he had done, or what he would have done,
had he been called upoo. GOOd cheer circulated
