Reports from Jamaica and the West Indies describe Captain Taylor's privateer Bri tannia taking two to three small vessels in addition to known captures. Carrington under Captain Appowen arrived at Reedy Island after a long cruise, having captured or retaken several vessels including a Rhode Island schooner and a brig from North Carolina. Captain Warner from Jamaica reached the Capes after a weeklong voyage amid engagements with French privateers. Captain Patterson of Pelanqui’s sloop fought two French privateer sloops and died of wounds. Captain Cochran of North Carolina arrived at Reedy Island after storms, with cargo losses.
