Sunday 20th [July]
Sailed this Morning from Staten Island, with all the Transports, to Sandy Hook, where we came to Anchor; the large men of War not being able to come down, the Wind & Tide not properly serving together. So many Ships at one Time under Sail, with the Wind for the most part ahead, which obliged them to traverse, rendered the Scene very grand & picturesque. News arrived at N. York of Genl Burgoyne's Arrival at Fort Edward on the 9th or 11th inst.
