At last the breeze reached them and the frigate, light at first and then gradually increasing, while the Rebiera foamed through the water, and had now every chance of cutting off some of the gun-boats. The frigate trimmed her sails and steered towards the flotilla, which now thought proper to haul off and put their heads in-shore, followed by the frigate firing her bowchasers.

They were evidently aimed with the hopes of cutting away some of the Lilly's rigging. The corvette replied with her bowchasers, the schooner firing again and again in return.
