HEN any remarkable
circumſtances take place
in a man’s life, he feels
commonly a diſpoſition to
communicate them to the world: If
they have been deliverances from
great and ſignal dangers, he will
make this communication from a
principle of gratitude to the Being
who hath protected and preſerved
him: He will wiſh to engage others
to be thankful on his behalf; and a
knowledge of the kindneſs of
Heaven to him may lead others to
truſt in GOD, when they are
brought into like diſtreſs and
danger. By theſe motives the
Subject of the following pages
hopes he is influenced in publiſhing
them to the world; which is all the
apology that may be expected from
the P u b l i c k’s diſtreſſed Friend,

correcting the following ſheets.
A
N A R R A T I V E, &c.
W A S born in Barnſtable, in New-
England, October 2, 1757, of
credible Parents, whom I ſerved as
an obedient Son, I hope, until the
commencement of the late war called me
from my home, and led me to exchange the
occupation of a Huſbandman, to which I was
bred for the more dangerous employment of
a Soldier. In this capacity I served my
Country 3 campaigns, and know not that my
behaviour was censured by my officers.
After having returned for a time to the
Farming-Buſineſs, I concluded to try my
fortune at ſea: I entered accordingly on board
the ſchooner Bunker-Hill, Captain Iſaac Cobb,
Commander, on a privateering voyage: But
we had not been out more than 6 days before
we were taken by the brig Hope, one Brown,
Commander, and carried into Halifax. We
were committed to jail and kept very ſhort:
Then I was taken with the ſmall-pox, thro’
which GOD ſafely carried me when deſtitute
of the neceſſaries of life, and under great
preſſure of mind. But after my being
recovered ſo far as to be returned to the jail
from the hoſpital, in conſequence of my
having nothing but a ſmall allowance of ſalt
proviſions, which were next to poiſon for a ſick
perſon, I was taken with a violent fever, which
returned me again to the hoſpital, and
brought me to the gates of the grave. No
perſon who hath not experienced it can
imagine how gloomy and diſtreſſing it is to be
under ſuch circumſtances: To be far diſtant
from our deareſt Friends; to be among
perſons who are not only without any concern
for us, or intereſt in our fate, but who are our
profeſſed enemies, and not governed even by
the common principles of humanity, is a caſe
truly melancholy. In this ſituation I was
attacked with a bleeding of the noſe, (to
which I had before been ſubject) which
brought me to the very borders of eternity!
After this I was, by the ſmiles of heaven
recovered and reſtored, by a cartel, with 400
of my Countrymen to our own homes. How
welcome they were to us, and how pleaſant it
was to me to ſee the faces of my Friends
again, any one may imagine more eaſily than
I can deſcribe!
But tho’ I had been ſo unſucceſſful in my
firſt attempt at ſea, I could not reſiſt the
inclination I had to try once more what
Providence would do for me: I left my native
place, went to Boſton, and entered on board
the brig Arnold, James Magee, Commander. I
well remember I felt an unusual dejection
when I entered on this undertaking; and tho’ I
pretend not to ſay that this foreboded the
miſfortunes I was to meet with in this fatal
veſſel, yet I have often reflected upon it ſince
with a degree of admiration.
While the brig lay in the harbour, I
attempted with ſome other hands to go on
board another veſſel in a ſmall boat, but the
wind ſuddenly riſing we were in danger of
being drowned; the boat run on Governor’s-
Iſland, and we were obliged to ſtay there
24 hours before we could get off. Providence
preſerved my life in this danger, in order that I
might live thro’ greater, and teſtify to his
loving kindneſs and mercy.
On December 24, 1778, Capt. Magee
ſailed from Boſton: We had been at ſea but a
few hours, when a moſt terrible gale of wind
aroſe, ſo that the water was almoſt knee deep
on the leeward ſide of the quarter-deck. We
continued in the Bay that day and the night
following, but on the next day we got into
Plymouth. The wind was abated, but the cold
was ſevere and intenſe beyond deſcription.
We came to anchor a little below Beach-
Point, in the Harbour of Plymouth.
On Saturday, December 26, about
6 o’clock in the morning, from the violent
motion of the ſea, the brig ſtruck the bottom
as tho’ it would drive her keel in. As there was
not depth of water enough to work the veſſel
in the place where we lay, and we ſaw a
heavy ſtorm coming on, our Commander
thought it beſt to cut our cables and let her
drive, which was immediately done. The
ſtorm increaſed very faſt, ſo that we were
obliged to cut away the main-maſt, and we
drifted upon an hard flat a little to the
weſtward of Beach-Point.
This was early on Saturday morning, and
we now laboured hard in throwing over our
wood and getting our guns off the decks into
