Entries date from April 7-August 1, 1813 and describe cruising in Long Island Sound and past Sandy Hook, New Jersey and the Battery (southern tip of Manhattan Island); sailing for L'Orient, France on June 19th with William H. Crawford, America's Minister to France, on board; burning the British schooner Salamanca; traveling from L'Orient to Groix and Scilly islands; cruising in the English Channel; and capturing the schooner Matilda and the brig Richard.
