Was seen on the 30th day of July, between
Cohanzy and Bombay Hook, by Capt. Jesse
Mode, and party of pleasure on board the
sloop Ann Eliza of Wilmington, Sea Serpent,
at the distance of hafa mile. After nearing it
to the distance of three hundred yards, some
conectured its length to be about sixty feet, and
breadth between the eyes about six feet, but be-
ing in coiled situation could not with correct
ness be ascertaned: being well provided with
guns and ammunition, and courageous crew, 1t
was unanimously agreed that we should bear
down on it, and make formidable attack. The
deck being cleared, every man was at his post
and ready for battle,--commenceda Il tremendous
fire which was kept up for several minutes
When we ceased, it was discovered that we had
literally torn it to pieces, and were making
preparations to take it on board, when lo TO our
great astonishment and notification, it proved
to be an old bed, divested Of its contents and al
most torn to pieces, which gave it very fright
iul appearance.


ONE OF THE CREW.
