Transcribed from the Belfast Newsletter of 29 May 1795. On Sunday the Hinde frigate brought into this harbour as prize, a large smuggling cutter, mounting 16 guns, 4 and 6 pounders and forty men. She was loaded with 500 casks of spirits, tea, tobacco, and nankeen from Guernsey. She was chased for 15 hours before capture. She was supposed to land her cargo on the coast of Mourne.
