2. In his diary entry of 8 May, Charles Herbert reported the arrival at Forton of three prisoners, who were “taken in a prize upon the Grand Bank, bound to America, by a large old East Indiaman, which has been made a transport. She was bound from New York to England, with a few of Burgoyne’s officers on board, wounded and exchanged.” Herbert, Relic of the Revolution, pp. 119–20. In a list of prisoners, Herbert identifies the three men as William Hessam of Philadelphia, William Fowler of Casco Bay, and Daniel Willet of Newport. Ibid., p. 257. The “transport” that Herbert mentions was H.M. storeship Grampus, Comdr. Ambrose Reddall, commander, which had sailed from Newport, R.I., on 15 Apr. carrying Gen. John Burgoyne and several of his officers to England. Mackenzie, Diary 1: 266. Grampus was the former H.M.S. Buckingham, a warship of 70 guns converted to a storeship but still armed with 30 guns and manned by 230 men.
