The British schooner Speedwell arrived at Nassau N. P. in November,

bringing in 18 pirates, who had been captured by the Speedwell and her

consort. The schooner had been disguised as a merchantman, and the

pirates, taking her to be an easy prize, came carelessly along side of

her, for the purpose of boarding, when she gave them a hot fire, and

threw them into confusion. Many jumped overboard and were drowned; and

with these and the killed, the loss of the pirates was about 15 or 16.

The remainder of them, 18 in number, were taken prisoners and carried

into Nassau.
