Night Escape of Snow and Rescue by Ireland Bound Privateer
The Snow escaped in the night with twelve men wounded but none killed after a clash where many ships were captured or abandoned. The commander steered toward Ireland, severed his own ship’s tackle, then encountered more ships and fled. He later met the Prime- Minister Privateer, retook by two men of war, and recovered six to seven merchantmen bound for Brett. The prizes and privateer separated and are believed to have limped back to Bristol.
