Feb. 13, 1777. Third remove from the Torbay ー after being on board her 6 days ー to the Burford of 70 guns, George Bowyer, Esq, commander, a man of humanity, tenderness and compassion, which we have all experienced. When he found what a situation Fitzherbet² left us in, he expressed himself surprised, and told us he would do all in his power to make our situation as comfortable as possible, and give us all ー the indulgence he could, consistent with his duty. Capt Bowyer has taken our necessitous condition so much into consideration as to order all that are destitute of beds, bedding, clothes, &c, to a considerable amount, which we have reason to believe, by his own acknowledgment, is at his own expense. For which favor we are very thankful. Such humane behaviour demands our grateful acknowledgments.
