Brig
16
January 1799
On Thursday, 3rd inst., a
cutter-rigged privateer appeared
off Robin's Hood's Bay, lying in
the common ships' track; she took
a loaded brig, and drove another
upon the rocks at Peak Steel,
where she was totally wrecked. It
is reported that this vessel is
still hovering upon the coast.
The usual signals, denoting the
appearance of an enemy, were
displayed from the East Cliff at
Whitby.
From the
Times.
