Capt. Enoch Ward, with his Core Sound Independent Company, seized a prize schooner named the Liverpool, commanded by Capt. Mayes from Providence to New York, loaded with fruit and turtle for Lord Howe.

This vessel put into Cape Lookout Bay under the sanction of a pretended friend, but Capt. Ward's vigilance soon discovered her to be an enemy and in the night boarded her with some of his company and took her. She was about 30 tons, and has since been refitted as a local privateer.
