Smuggling at Bangor.

On Saturday night last a boat was dispatched from
the Drake sloop of war lying in this harbour, upon an
information, in order to board a smuggling cutter off
Bangor.  The crew consisting of a master and four hands
made opposition and shot the boatswain in attempting to
board her, who died on the spot, after which the man of
wars men with the rest of the boats crew, secured the
whole without any other damage than wounding one of the
smugglers on the shoulder.
