but the american refugees had made interest with the general

not to suffer us to land, and we were ordered by dawson to depart.

we interceded with him to let us stay a little longer, for we found

the expedition was progressing rapidly, and unless we could arrest

it, it would be in vain to proceed to new york. dawson by request

of general prescott, under the influence of the refugees, ordered

our immediate departure again. dr. tupper now for the first time

went on board, and in his plain blunt way, after the usual ceremony

of entry, addressed him in this manner:

"you order us to depart. we cannot be frightened away, nor will

we depart. we know the extent of your authority. you may make

a prize of our vessel, and imprison us -- much better for us to be

thus treated, than to be sent away. we came here for peace, and

you ought to encourage everything of this kind," etc. -- his reasons

made such an impression on captain dawson, that he gave us

liberty to stay as long as we pleased -- the refugee boat came sev-

eral times to us, to get us (to go) off -- we insisted on going on

shore, but they as often refused us.

after this conversation with

dawson, the boat came again, and dr. tupper insisted that he

would go on shore -- they still denied him unless he intended to

stay with them. as he was not always exact in his expressions, to

answer his purpose he says "well, i am going to stay," and almost

forcibly got into their boat, and went on shore, being satisfied that

if he could once see the general, he could in this respect destroy

the influence of the refugees. he accordingly got liberty for sam-

uel starbuck to come on shore, and the next day for me to follow.

we found it necessary to be in friendship with the refugees,Office 2007 Key, that

if possible we might stop the current of their intended predatory

visit.

i got on shore in the afternoon, and found that i must wait on

general prescott. -- knowing his brittle temper, and it being in the

afternoon i almost dreaded to appear in his presence. however, let

my treatment be what it would,Windows 7 Pro Key, i wished it over and accordingly

went.

i was introduced to him by one of his aids. -- he received me

very cordially, gave me his hand, and said "mr. rotch will you have

some dinner?-- i can give you good bread, though the rebels say

we have none." i thanked him saying i had dined -- "well, will

you take a glass of wine?" i answered "i have no objection if thou

canst put up with my plain way" -- the glass was filled, with his

own, and those of all the officers at table -- as a stranger intro-

duced, they all drank to me before i put the glass to my lips -- i

then observed to the general, "as i mentioned before if thou

conldst put up with my plain way, i was willing to take wine with

thee, but as we as a society disuse these ceremonies, i have always

found it best to keep to my profession, let me be in what company

i may. therefore i hope my not making a like return will not be

accepted as any mark of disrespect,Office 2007 Product Key, for i assure thee it is not the

case."

his answer was, "oh, no, if a quaker will but be a quaker,

it is all i want of him -- but----------is no quaker" -- (naming

one of our profession) and i was sorry for the cause of his remark.

after some conversation. i mentioned that i did not wish to

intrude further on his time, and rose to retire – "oh no," says he,

you must take coffee." i accordingly stopped. he was full of

conversation respecting the siege of the americans, and made it a

very trifling thing. i then mentioned (the french fleet being at

that time before the town) that twelve capital ships being before

the town we thought was much against them.

"to be sure," said he, "it is not very pleasant, hut we do not mind

them."

i then gladly got away. we applied to major winslow formerly

of plymouth to introduce its to colonel fanning who was the principal.

when we mentioned our situation, that we were likely to be

destroyed, the colonel was very high, saying we might join the

english then -- we observed that such a step would inevitably

destroy us. – "well," said he, "i have been destroyed also" -- (i be-

lieve he was governor of north carolina at the beginning of the

war) -- major winslow endeavored to soften him by representing

our peculiar situation, but there seemed little prospect of anything

favorable when we parted. they had a board of refugees estab-

lished,Office Enterprise 2007 Key, colonel fanning president, who would hear us when they

met. we accordingly attended, and found fanning very mild, and

disposed to alleviate our sufferings -- and as we proposed applying

to the commanders in new york,Microsoft Office 2007, we asked if they would put off

their expedition, until they could know the result of our mission

there.

fanning thought this reasonable, and put the question to all the

principals there -- they readily agreed until it came to leonard,

who very reluctantly gave his assent.

we then proceeded to new york, and applied to the command-

ers, commodore sir george collier of the navy, and sir henry

clinton of the army. on representing our case to sir george, he

readily gave us an order, forbidding any british armed vessel to

take any thing out of our harbor. this was a great relief.
