The Flag1 mentioned in our last to have sailed for New-York, was, the Night after, forced on Shore at Crane-Neck on Long Island, the Prisoners, 37 out of 45, rose upon the Captain, took the Vessel from him, and after robbing of her Provisions made their Escape on the Island, purposely to avoid the Men of War. The Remainder were taken on board the Scorpion, Capt. Brown,2 the Flag being stopped by him from proceeding to New-York....
Wednesday last a Flag sailed for Newport with seven Prisoners, late belonging to the Weymouth Packet, two having run off the Night before, and supposed to have stole a Boat, and gone to join their Comrades at Long-Island.
