Note
Cover title.
Concerns Revolutionary War activities chiefly in 1776 and 1777.
Several leaves torn away at beginning.
Continued by an apparently unrelated commonplace book by Israel Miller, cataloged separately.
Log of a British ship, possibly a victualler, in American waters during the Revolutionary War. A second Lord Howe was a British transport vessel, but that vessel was in New England waters on 14 June. Sloane records location, winds, weather, cargo (especially rum) and other notable details of the voyage. On 4 Aug. 1776, he prepares to sail for New York with "the Mercury Man of War as convoy with a fleet of about 30 sail." On 14 Aug. he reports being chased by two "provincial frigates" that proved to be the British frigate Cerberus and the Nautilus sloop of war that were "after a Frigate & 3 other Arm Vessels belonging to the Yankys." Pt. [2] begins on 24 July 1779 "in company with the fleet" and ends abruptly on the 28th, noting " prodigous heavy claps of thunder & lightning sharply alround attended with very heavy showers. Made sail at 4 a.m."
