Yesterday Morning Capt. Cobb in the Halifax armed Sloop arrived here from the Bay of Fundy, and informs; That last Tuesday se'nnight, having lost his own Vessel, he with 26 Men, and a French Woman which he got as a Pilot, went on board another that was smaller, fixed a Swivel Gun on her Bow, and proceeded up one of the Rivers in that Bay in Order to plunder a Neutral Settlement, which they effected; and upon their return, coming round a Point of Land, they were attacked from the Shore by a Number of French and Indians on one Side, and a large Petteauger on the other, and continued smartly engaged between the two Fires of the Enemy till he had expended all his Ammunition but 3 Rounds. but luckily none of his People were killed, tho' several of them were shot thro' their Cloaths, and himself lightly wounded in one of his Hands, and his Dog shot dead close by him; the Enemy were so near, that their Musket Balls went thro' the Ceiling of his Vessel. Capt. Cobb imagines he must have killed several of the Enemy, as he and his People fired 28 Rounds at them: but they being so far superior in Number, consisting of at least 60, he was glad to make the best of his Way off.
