May 27. 1775.
On the 27th ins., as a Party of the Massachusetts Forces, to- gether with a Party of new Hampshire Forces, in all, about 600 Men, were attempting to bring of tlie Stock upon hog Island, & about 30 Men upon Noddle's Island were doing the same; when. about a hundred Regulars landed upon the last mentioned Island, & pursued our Men, till they had got safely back to hog Island :- then the Regulars began to fire very briskly by Platoons upon our Men.
In the mean time, an armed Schooner (mounting four 6 Pounders & 12 Swivels) with a Number of Barges, came up to hog Island, to prevent our People leaving sd. Island. But, to no Purpose: - After this, she attempted to return back to the Place where she was stationed at Winisimet, & five or 6 Minutes would have sceured her ; But our Men put in a heavy fire of small Arms upon several Barges, which were toaing her back, for there was little Wind & flood Tide; & two 3 Ponders coming to Hand. that Instant, began to play upon them, & soon obliged the Barges to quit her, & carry of her Crew. - after which, Fire was set to her. altho' the Barges exerted themselves very vigorously to prevent it .- She was burnt upon the Ways of Winisimet Ferry .-
We have not lost a single Life, altho' the Engagement was very warm from the armed Schooner, an armed Sloop, that lay within reach of small Arms, from one or two twelve Pounders on Noddle's Island, & from the Barges which were all fix'd with Swivels. - Hog Island was stript of its Stock: & some was taken
