His Majesty's Sloop Reindeer , off Montego
SIR , Bay , 7th March 1805 .
I have the pleasure to inform you , that after a chace of 5 hours and a half , in company with His Majesty's Sloop Hunter , I have captured the Spanish Schooner Privateer Santa Rosalia Galundrina , commanded by Francisco de Naras , having on board 57 men .
Previous to our falling in with her, she appears to have mounted 3 guns , which were thrown overboard during the chace , one of eight and a Half and 2 of 4-Pounders Calibre , and had on board musketry for the whole of her crew . She sails remarkably fast ; is victualled for 14 days ; left Caliodam , in Cuba , yesterday , but belongs to St. Jago ; has taken nothing during her cruize .
The privateer have sent into Port Royal , under the protection of His Majesty's Sloop Hunter , with the greatest part of her crew , haying only 15 remaining on board the Reindeer .
I have the Honor to be, &c.
J. Fyffe
