I landed and after considerable difficulty succeeded in finding the village and house in which they had been confined, the informant latter being pointed out by one of the villagers; and as it was deserted I forced the doors, and found a quantity of material commonly used in Crawls, consequently the house was searched, after which Leone, the owner of the captured pink here, leased from another house but by whom he did not know how I could discover and the place not being in the vicinity I returned on board and came down to this port

I have the honor to inform you
1 that on the 3rd Inst. we received intelligence from Hong Kong by the British Steamer "Sutherland" and also a letter from the Senior Naval Officer at this port from Lt. Main stating
that the Jun Boat at Swatow which I opened, it was to the effect that an English barque the "Henry Darking" had been attacked by a heavily armed Lorcha, & finally was taken, the Captain being killed and the Mate severely wounded I communicated this intelligence to the Consul and told him that I would go out the next Tides down the River for Mounting
Mark thought he Lorcha, he told me that he thought it would be a hazardous thing to do. On Tuesday last, I weighed under the R.M. Courtenay
den off Amoy.
