We are inform'd, that on Monday the 2d instant, a Spanish
pirate, a schooner of 6 or 8 guns, and 80 men, anchor'd at
an island call'd Gardner's Island, which lies near East-
Hampton & Block-Island; and at night the men went on shore
and broke open the house of Mr. Gardner the proprietor of
said island, . . . [3 lines] so that the account of the
pirates came to New-London on Tuesday night; and a post was
immediately sent to Rhode-Island, which got there the next
morning. And we hear from thence, that upon receiving the
intelligence, the drums beat up for voluntiers to go in
quest of the said Spanish pirate. . . [18 lines]
