=== Battle off Baie Verte ===
In August 1750, there was a naval battle off [[Baie Verte, New Brunswick|Baie Verte]] between British Captain Le Cras, of the Trial and the French sloop, the London, of 70 tons. The London was seized to discover that it had been employed to carry stores of all kinds, arms and ammunition, from Quebec to Le Loutre and the Mi'kmaw fighters. François Bigot, the intendant of New France had given instructions to the French captain to follow the orders of Le Loutre or La Corne, the bills of lading endorsed by Le Loutre, and other papers and letters, were found on board of her, with four deserters from Cornwallis' regiment, and a family of Acadians. The prize and her papers were sent to Halifax.<ref>Beamish Murdoch. A History of Nova Scotia. Vol 2. p. 188</ref>
== Port Joli ==
About 1750, the Mi'kmaq captured an New England fishing schooner off of Port Joli and tortured the crew members. To the west of St. Catherines River, the Mi'kmaq headed "Durham Rock" and forced the crew to burn on the rock or jump to their death into the the ocean.<ref>[https://books.google.ca/books?id=lMsTAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA202&lpg=PA202&dq=BETSEY,+Robert+Foster,&source=bl&ots=KD0aA3ZXaf&sig=PdVdAksYeh64RlLgYcMZcGENoFk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwidpPj1u6TaAhUSd6wKHZ31CSoQ6AEIOjAD#v=onepage&q=privateer&f=false History of Queen's County, p.121]</ref>
