-1 cufly got up the necessary
ammunition, water, &c.
from below, ordered the
hatches to be fattened down.
At 2 o’clock the Decatur
having wore ihip in order to
take the schooner abaft, she 1
fired another (hot which j
patted over us; at a quar
ter part 2 we fired our large

red our piece a second and |

evinced a desire to bear a
way, obfervmg this the De -
catur hauled upon the hr
board tack, in order to pre
lcnt her bow to the enemy ;
10 minutes after the enemy
fired a whole broadside,
which caused no other da
majre to the Decatur, ex
cept fame trifling injury to
the rigging. /Mcer having
answered her by a foot from
our 18 pounder, the capr.
of the Decatur ordered eve
ry one to his port, in order
to carry her by boarding,
when L*e necciTary prepara

purp«fe; it was now about

The Decatur continuing
to follow up the manoeuvres
of the enemy, endeavored
again to board ker, which
hie once more avoided and
fired another broadside.
The captain of the Decatur
having ordered the drumb
to beat tne charge, the
crew cried ouc to board.
At tiiat moment endcavorwd
