The New Hampshire Gazette

We have Advice from Nantucket, That Capt. Nathaniel Woodbury of that Place, being bound on a Whaling Voyage, was taken about the middle of last Month, 25 Leagues to the Eastward of the Grand Bank, by a French Privateer Sloop, called the Revenge, mounting 10 Carriage Guns, and about 70 or 80 Men. That when he came on board, he found one Capt. Rowlion, who was bound in a Snow from Philadelphia to Liverpool, laden with Bread, Flour and Wheat, taken also by said Privateer the Beginning of last Month and sent to Louisbourg.

Capt. Woodbury having no Oil on board, they gave him his Sloop again, and told him there was another French Privateer, a Schooner, cruising about 20 Leagues to the Southward of him, which they would have him steer clear of; upon which he made the best of his Way to Nantucket, and arrived there last Thursday was se'nnight.
