The Patriot War, Schooner Ann/Anne-- Part 7: Kindness, Humanity and Consideration

Our men  plunged into the water and boarded her, a jolly little man of the name Lighton, climbed the mast and pulled her colors down.

The prisoners were brought on shore, and the wounded treated with ever kindness, humanity and consideration.  Indeed we need only to refer to the spontaneous declaration of W.W. Dodge, who is by far the most respectable among them, as evidence of their treatment.

The capture consisted of  a schooner, called the "ANN" of Detroit --  21 prisoners (most of them American citizens),  3 pieces of cannon -- and upwards of 200 stand of arms -- and a large quantity of ammunition, besides some stores and provisions.

The Militia engaged in this capture were all Volunteers, and behaved most gallantly.
