		The peculiar construction of the Hippomenes, a Dutch-built corvette, had been taken advantage of in so disguising her appearance, that the privateer, believing the ship to be an African trader, bore down, under English colours, to take possession of her.
		The guns of the Hippomenes, particularly two carronades on the upper deck, a Dutch 24-pounder and an English 12, in a very few minutes did serious injury to the Buonaparte ; while the latter, from her tops, threw stinkpots upon the decks of the former, thereby setting her on fire abaft.
		It was at this crisis that, having to prevent the privateer's escape caused her bowsprit to be lashed to his ship's mainmast, Captain Mackenzie called to his crew to follow him in boarding, and secure the victory.

	Hippomenes the Fearful By CaptainPenguin
		This man, a thin, small man with pale eyes and a soft voice, has reared a dark citadel in the boggy lowlands and subjugated the peasantry with an army of bandits, as well as, it is said, more shadowy things.
		Any who gaze into those strange, misty eyes of Hippomenesâ are struck by horrible fear, a terror so deep and overwhelming that some go insane of it.
		Hippomenes reserves this gaze for his direst enemies and most disobedient servants.
