ah ! your honour, in a ' cutting out' job in the port o' T- . I was sent away one night in the first cutter there was three boats in all, one for each bow and one for the most likely place as we could find for boarding. The prize were a fine French sloop o' war, o' eighteen guns 23 and two hundred men. The night warn't neither dark nor light, but middling like, with a kind o' scud every now and then between us and the moon. We waited some hours in the shade o' a kind o' pro- montory, till we se...e the lights out in the town, and so close to the enemy that we could hear the Frenchmen's laughing and singing quite plain brought out to us upon the night wind. Howsomever, it might be somewheres nigh four bells (two o'clock in the morning) when our first 'luff' passes the word for ' out oars, ' which, in course, was muffled ; and to move like cats up to the starboard main-chains o' the prize, the other boats taking each bow, and cutting her cable. Well, there she lay, looming rather large for fifty blue jackets and twenty jollies (marines) to take ; but, Lord bless your honour, we had made up our minds to have her, and have her we did, though we was rather oneasy lest the moon should break out, and discover us in 24 time for her grape and canister shot to tell.
