His Majesty's Ship Galatea, off Guadaloupe,
November 12, 1806
Sir
This I gave chase to a suspicious Schooner, in the N. W., and after a few Hours, got near enough to him, when it moderated by Degrees to a Calm, and our Boats were dispatched under Lieutenants Gittens and Walker; in a few Minutes after they reached near enough to return his Fire with Musketry, and were on the Point of boarding, when his French Colours were struck, and proved to be the Rennion, a fine New Vessel of Ten Guns, (pierced for Fourteen) Copper bottom, from La Guiia, bound to Martinique with a Cargo; she obtained some Dispatches for the French General in Chief, from the Spanish Government at the Carraccas; not a Man of ours was hurt, which I attribute to Lieutenant Giten's judicious Disposition of thc Boats, while under the Enemy's Fire. Our Men confirmed me in the good Opinion I have so frequently had Occasion to have of them.
I have the Honour to be, Sec.
GEO. SAYER.
