Rain'd all day with intermissions. At about 3 o clock PM we went a Gunning with Flamand.
We got but little because Flamand the Consul's servant put a wad into his Gun and
did not put any powder and was forc'd to go and draw it out. Stevens,
1 Sam Cooper, brother Charles, Flamand and I went together. I fir'd three times but
once in the Air. I kill'd once. This morning a Spanish Vessel went out and this afternoon
a French Frigate and another French Ship came in, to this Port. At about 6 o clock
we came home and found nobody but Mr. Allen there.
