3. "We were carried into New London Harbour, and every man put in irons, because we would not inlist with the Rebels; they allowed us only four ounces of Bread per day and four ounces of Pork to last us two days. we defyed all they could do and were determined by the example and encouragement of our commander, Mr. S[neyd] (who in no respect fared better than the rest) to die by our colours rather than purchase life by ingloriously deserting them." This is the boatswain's account, as related later to Lieutenant Sneyd's sailor servant on board the Bolton. "Sneyd Papers," Mariner's Mirror, XLIV.
