Dealing with a pirate ship...

Item # 693218 ·
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, March 7, 1771  Page 2 has: "America" with a report from Charleston concerning a fire at the wharf. Another page has a report from Newport, Rhode Island which notes: "...a large white-bottomed Bermudas built Sloop, had turned Pirate and captured a French schooner with 3000 dollars...and also robbed another. That an armed vessel was dispatched in quest of the pirate, & had retaken the French schooner...with 12 of the pirates on board, who were committed to gaol."
Eight pages, 8 1/2 by 11 1/4 inches, rubbing to the front page affects some words and causes two small holes, scattered foxing.
