On board Captain McCullock,² from London, came passenger Major [Philip] Skene, Governor of Crown Point, with four other officers belonging to the regiments at Boston; they are now under a strong guard of our militia; which was occasioned by their conduct; for a few days before the Captain made the land, he spoke with a vessel, who informed them of the late battle at Boston; upon which Major Skene and the other officers endeavoured to take the command of the vessel, in order to proceed immediately to Boston, but were overpowered by the Captain and crew. The Captain put them into confinement; and having represented them to the Committee as mutineers, they will be tried for it shortly.
