Présentation de l'éditeur

Tk Mysterious Craft The Pirates .C emetery AH eavi Corpse An Interesting Scene Cruisers Descried The Bnrial and the Inscription The Young Spy AS hrewd Surmise The Rebel and the Royalist s Daughter A Fa tal Row Our Hero in Trouble. With roomy deck and guns of mighty strength, Whose low lard mouths each mountain billow laves, Deep in her draught and warlike in her length. She seems a sea-wasp flying on the waters, IT was a midsummers eve of the year A. D. 1772. (a period which will be perpetuated in the annals of our national history,) just as the sun had sunk behind the loftiest of the trio of hills, oi the good old town of Boston, that a long, rakish clipper built schooner, beautifully modelled, of about one hundred arid twenty tons burthen, mounting ten twelve pound carronades, besides a long eighteen pounder, ffjounted on a pivot forward, serving as a bow-chaser, and another of twenty-four pound, long gun, serving as a stern-chaser, was descried beating up the bay, under lull sail, against a freshly blowing southwest breeze. She carried a complement of sixty men, each of whom appeared to be armed with a cutlass, or a brace of pistols. Altogether she was the most mysterious and formidable looking craft that had been seen in our waters for many a year, and various were the surmises of the few fishermen and others who had a fair view of her as she stretched across from shore to shore. Under the lee of a bold sand bluff, known as Long Island Head, she tacked and held her course for Point Shirley. So swifty did the craft skim over the light billows, 1hat she seemed indeed a seawasp flying on the waves.
