One of them got within thirty yards of her and called her to stop; but the Captain of the B. defied them to catch him, and got his vessel into port safe, with the exception of one shot through her hulk, aft the wheel-house. It is stated that, with similar determination, the Cornubia might have been saved. The Margaret and Jessie, which was captured off Wilmington on the 5th by the Fulton, had a valuable cargo on.
