Captain Tyringham Howe, sailed into the midst of an American squadron under the command of Commodore Esek Hopkins, and composed of the Alfred, 24, Columbus, 20, Andrea Doria, 14, Cabot, 14, and Providence, 12. The British vessel engaged for over two hours with this very superior force, but succeeded in escaping, as the Americans were afraid that the noise of the firing would bring to the rescue a British squadron, which was lying at Newport. The Glasgow lost one killed and three wounded; the Americans, twenty-three or twenty-four killed and wounded.
