were made unserviceable: And in my judgment their loss
cannot chuse but be very great, because many of their Boats
they had were taken up, which swu[unr]m up and down in a scattered
and broken condition; in which were Horse; Granadoes,
Axes, Shovels, Spades, and the like, which were found
to be all besmeared with blood.
Another touching the same action.
I hope that the enemy hath burned his fingers at this bout
so much, that he will put them no more into this fire. During
the time of the attaque, there was a huge fire on both
sides, for their ships lay so close to our Fort, that one might
have cast, a stone amongst them; and doubtless, by the continual
shooting of our Canons and Muskets, they had great
loss, for they could not bring to land one Boat from the
Men of War, under which, all their Boats full of men did
lie, and at last in a great confusion, they went over to the
other file.
On our side we had but nine or ten killed, and some wounded,
among which was General Adjutant Lindenberg; who
received a slight, wound in the Arm. This day they have
been busied all day long to disembarque their foot forces hand
by Fredericks-ode; no doubt they were busie about the
same work yesterday, and all the night; for as much as I
have seen this day, and could judge by their march, there
were about 5000 of them: No question but they had embarqued
their whole Infantery, for all their Scutes, about sixty,
were full of foot forces. What the enemy with further
attempt, your Excellency shall be made acquainted with.

From Pomerania, July 10.
There is great talk about the marching of the Austrian and
Brandenburgish Forces, which stand about Haland, but they
cannot tell which way they are to march. It is supposed, that
they intend to march against the Swedish General Douglasse,
