The French attacked the rear of the convoy from the North. This French Frigate slipped passed the escorts but was unable to grapple.
The Corsairs attack in force swarming the leed merchant despite the effort of the USS Congress and Boston.
The Corsairs took a merchant and a Navy schooner...
And then boarded a second merchant which is quickly overwhelmed.
