On this same day the _Rossie_ fell in with three ships, and a man-of-war brig that was too strong for her--at least the Commodore hauled off after getting an eighteen-pound shot through the _Rossie’s_ quarter. But he hung about the fleet for three days trying to separate them, though without success. Later, while cruising with the privateer _Globe_, Captain Murphy, of Baltimore, the British schooner _Jubilee_ was taken, and the American ship _Merrimack_ was taken by Barney alone for violating the non-importation law. He returned to Baltimore on November 10th, having taken and destroyed shipping and cargoes to the value of $1,500,000, with two hundred and seventeen prisoners. [Illustration: The _Rossie_ and the _Princess Amelia_. _From a lithograph in Coggeshall’s “Privateers.”_] The _Globe_, while cruising alone before meeting the _Rossie_, had a stirring time with the British letter-of-marque _Boyd_. It was on July 31st, and there was a gale blowing when the _Globe_ began the chase. It was three hours before she got within range. Then she opened the combat with her Long Tom amidships--a gun that could throw accurately a nine-pound, round, cast-iron ball to a distance of, perhaps, half a mile--a long nine, in short. The _Boyd_ replied with two long nines, but fired wildly, and the _Globe_ was able to range up where her short guns could bear. There were four of these on a side. The enemy carried two more guns than the _Globe_, and worked them vigorously until the _Globe_ ranged up where muskets were used. Then the _Boyd_ struck. The kind of marksmanship exhibited is shown by the fact that no one was hurt on either vessel. The _Boyd_ was sent in. On August 14th the _Globe_ captured a schooner of four guns, loaded with mahogany, and a few days thereafter brought to Hampton Roads “a large British ship carrying twenty-two guns, richly laden, which she captured not far from the Bermudas.”
