In command of the schooner, _Good Hope_, he was sailing from the Barbados with a cargo of rum and sugar for Boston, which furnishes a most excellent market for both, when he was overhauled by the French privateer, _Rocroi_." "What do you find to laugh at in the loss of a good ship and a fine cargo ?" "Did I say they were lost?
Nay, David, I said nothing of the kind.

You don't know Dunbar, and you don't know the _Good Hope_, which carries a brass twelve-pounder and fifteen men as valiant as Dunbar himself.

He returned the attack of the _Rocroi_ with such amazing skill and fierceness that he was able to board her and take her, with only three of his men wounded and they not badly.

Moreover, they found on board the privateer a large store of gold, which becomes our prize of war.

And Dunbar and his men shall have a fair share of it, too.
