This issue contains news of a battle between those on Navy Island and the British on the Canadian shore. After a small spy-boat from the Canadian shore was shot at by the Patriots “a most tremendous cannonading and bombarding were opened upon the Islanders from the Canadian batteries. Peal after peal thundered from their roaring artillery, and flash after flash sent up an almost uninterrupted sheet of lurid flame, for two or three hours duration. Bomb followed bomb, rocket followed rocket, and ball after ball, in such quick succession, and accompanied with such unearthly bellowing, that it seemed as though the very elements were at war…”. The arrival of Major General Winfield Scott to take over command of the Frontier forces is mentioned.
