Capt. McFarlan left Broad Bay last Saturday week with a sloop load of wood for this place, and was the next day taken by the enemy, who took all his hands out but himself, and put five men on board, and ordered her for Halifax. The Captain unknown to the men let all the water out, and when it was discovered that the water was gone, and a storm coming on, and the men not being acquainted with the coast, left the care of the sloop to the captain, who likewise was owner, and he took so good care of her as to bring her into Long Island in this harbour last Tuesday, where he delivered the prisoners, who are since brought to town, and committed to gaol.
