Scene of the rescue of a British soldier by Lieutenant Moody and two of his men, at night, in a jail in Sussex County during the American Revolution. Below the title is the following description of Lieutenant Moody and the scene: "This officer during the American War distinguished himself as one of the most gallant partizans in the British Service, & by the number of mails that he seized, made himself the terror of the Rebels. In some of these exploits his adventures & escapes were wonderful. Returning from an excursion in May 1780, he heard that a soldier of Burgoyne's Army was confined in the Gaol of Sussex County, condemed for an offence of which he was not guilty. There was something peculiarly hard in the case of this poor fellow & Moody determined to release him. Accordingly with 6 men he beset the Gaol at night, made his way thro' a casement & compelled the gaoler to conduct him to the prisoner; whom he found in a quiet sleep tho' sentenced to die the next morning. Moody roused him, told him he was come to release him in the name of King George, and pointed to his old companions and friends; but his terror was so great that he could not recollect them and was dragged out expecting nothing but instant execution. Although closely pursued for several days, Moody, at length conducted his party and the prisoner; to a place of safety." And printed next in different font: "See Lieutenant Moody's Narrative."
