Wednesd : the 4th: [September] I arose very Early in the Morning, walk'd the Deck for some Time, while the Ship was somewhat Still; Some Time in the Morning the Commasary (Mr: [Joshua] Loring) came on Board again, but made but a very short Stay; At about 9 oClock Col: [James] Piper Capt: [Joseph] Rowel Lt: [Thomas] Fanning & my self, went with Capt: Lambert on board the Snow Menter, where our other Officers are Confin'd, here I staid some Time & found most of the Officers of our Regt: ... While I was on Board the Snow, the People gave me some Apples which were very agreable, alth'o pretty hard; Col: [Samuel] Miles & Col: [Joel] Clark came back with us to the Lord Rochford, where he Treated us with two Bottles of Porter, the first Drink of any thing better than Water since we had been Prisoners, which is now 8 Days; Just before we came back, Mr: Dowdswell (the Offr: of the Marines) had Recd: Orders to Enlist such Prisoners as were Dispos'd to Engage in their Service; I was soon after Inform'd that he had Considrable Suckcess; ... About this Time our Prisoners on shore, were Bro't on Board of another Ship Laying in the Bay; The Night following, we again Lodg'd on the Quarter Deck, where I Rested Considrably Comfortably.
