Astrea, Elsineur, May 2, 1798.
My Lord, I beg to acquaint your Lordship, that on the 22d . of last month, on the Dogger Bank, I captured the Renommee French Schooner Privateer, of 5 guns and 54 men. Her Guns are 9-pounders (british 9-pounder because french have only 8-pounder ??) , fitted on slides at midship, so as to fight all on either side. She is one of the most complete vessels I ever saw, and sails remarkably fast.
I have the Honor to be &c. &c. &c.
