noon
The ship and brig having prize crews put on board them , were sent back to Jamaica , and the _ Rover _ continued her chase of the schooner . She kept her in sight , running to the southward , till Sir Henry felt satisfied that the vessels he had recaptured were safe , and then , night coming on , she was hid from sight . When morning broke not a sail was to be seen . Soon after noon , however , land was discovered ahead , and in an hour afterwards a schooner hove in sight . As the _ Rover _ drew near , she hoisted Spanish colours , and , evidently soon suspecting the brig 's character , put up her helm , and ran before the wind towards the coast . It was soon seen that she was not the privateer they were in search of . On she went , till she ran right on shore .
