Statement of WR Reynolds, Master of "Helena"
Our boats were going on shore at La Menu for the
purpose of recruiting, when they heard firing on the shore
and saw two boats of "William Manson" on the beach with
only two of the crew in them. When they heard the
firing, the "Helena's" boats came over to Facio's Store.
Ringdove Bay, where I already was; they did not land at
La Menu but reported to me the boats of "William Manson"
had set the place on fire there.
