George Hyde entered the Navy, 27 July, 1805, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Queen 98, Capts. John Knight and Fras. Pender, bearing the flag afterwards of Lord Collingwood in the Mediterranean and off Cadiz. He came home in 1807 in the Juno frigate, Capt. Hon. Granville Proby, but remained unemployed from that period until Sept. 1810, when he was ordered to the West Indies. On his return from the latter station, where he had been intermediately employed as Midshipman, in the Dragon 74, flag-ship of Sir Fras. Laforey, and Star sloop, Capt. Fras. Kearny White, he joined in Oct. 1811 the Belle Poule 38, Capt. Jas. Brisbane, whom he ultimately followed into the Pembroke 74. He was again, in Dec. 1812, placed under the orders of Capt.

Collier from Halifax to Kingston, in Upper Canada, and on his arrival was appointed to the Charwell 14, Capt. Alex. Dobbs. In Aug. 1814, having assisted in transporting the gig belonging to the latter vessel from Queenstown to Frenchman’s Creek, a distance of 20 miles, and thence, with the addition of five batteaux, through the woods to Lake Erie, a further distance of eight miles, he served with a detachment of 75 seamen and marines at the capture of the Somers and Ohio, two out of three fine American schooners, whose aggregate force amounted to 92 lbs. weight of metal and 105 men, while the British were perfectly destitute of artillery. The enemy on the occasion had 1 man killed and 7 womided; the assailants 2 killed and 4 wounded. For his gallant conduct in the attack, and the skill he displayed in afterwards navigating one of the prizes through shoals and rapids, and under a constant and heavy fire, into the river Niagara, Mr. Hyde obtained the particular mention of Capt. Dobbs. About the same period, however, he was unfortunately taken prisoner, and he was in consequence detained in the United States until March 1815. After he had again served for three months in the Charwell, commanded by Capt. Edw. Rowley on Lake Ontario, he returned to England on board a transport, and on 20 Sept. 1815 was promoted ​(from the Queen Charlotte 100, Capt. Edm. Boger) to the rank of Lieutenant. With the exception of a servitude of some time in the Tyne 26, commanded by his former Captain, White, on the Halifax station, Mr.Hyde has since been on half-pay. He is married and has issue.

CHAPTER XIII.
THE CAPTURE OF CAPTAIN JOHN BROWN AT THE ENGINE HOUSE.
One great difference between savages and civilized nations is, the improved mode of warfare adopted by the latter. Flags of truce are always entitled to consideration, and an attacking party would make a wide departure from military usage, were they not to give opportunity for the besieged to capitulate, or to surrender at discretion. Looking at the Harper's Ferry combat in the light of civilized usage, even where one side might be regarded as insurrectionary, the brutal treatment of Captain Brown and his men in the charge by the marines on the engine house is deserving of severest condemnation, and is one of those blood-thirsty occurrences, dark enough in depravity to disgrace a century.
​Captain Hazlett and myself being in the Arsenal opposite, saw the charge upon the engine house with the ladder, which resulted in opening the doors to the marines, and finally in Brown's capture. The old hero and his men were hacked and wounded with indecent rage, and at last brought out of the house and laid prostrate upon the ground, mangled and bleeding as they were. A formal surrender was required of Captain Brown, which he refused, knowing how little favor he would receive, if unarmed, at the hands of that infuriated mob. All of our party who went from the Farm, save the Captain, Shields Green, Edwin Coppic and Watson Brown, (who had received a mortal wound some time before,) the men at the Farm, and Hazlett and I, were either dead or captured before this time; the particulars of whose fate we learned still later in the day, as I shall presently show. Of the four prisoners taken at the engine house, Shields Green, the most inexorable of all our party, a very Turco in his hatred against the stealers of men, was under Captain Hazlett, and consequently of our little band at the Arsenal; but when we were ordered by Captain Brown to return to our positions, after having driven the troops into the bridge, he mistook the order, and went to the engine house instead of with his own party. Had he remained with us, he might have eluded the vigilant Virginians. As it was, he was doomed, as is well-known, and became a free-will offering for freedom, with his comrade, John Copeland. Wiser and better men no doubt there were, but a braver man never lived than Shields Green.

CHAPTER XV.
THE ENCOUNTER AT THE RIFLE FACTORY.
As stated in a previous chapter, the command of the rifle factory was given to Captain Kagi. Under him were John Copeland, Sherrard Lewis Leary, and three colored men from the neighborhood. At an early hour, Kagi saw from his position the danger in remaining, with our small company, until assistance could come to the inhabitants. Hence his suggestion to Captain Brown, through Jeremiah Anderson, to leave. His position being more isolated than the others, was the first to invite an organized attack with success; the Virginians first investing the factory with their hordes, before the final success at the engine house. From the prisoner taken by us ​who had participated in the assault upon Kagi's position, we received the sad details of the slaughter of our brave companions. Seven different times during the day they were fired upon, while they occupied the interior part of the building, the insurgents defending themselves with great courage, killing and wounding with fatal precision, At last, overwhelming numbers, as many as five hundred, our informant told us, blocked up the front of the building, pattered the doors down, and forced their way into the interior. The insurgents were then forced to retreat the back way, fighting, however, all the time. They were pursued, when they took to the river, and it being so shallow, they waded out to a rock, mid-way, and there made a stand, being completely hemmed in, front and rear. Some four or five hundred shots, said our prisoner, were fired at them before they were conquered. They would not surrender into the hands of the enemy, but kept on fighting until every one was killed, except John Copeland. Seeing he could do no more, and that all his associates were murdered, he suffered himself to be captured. The party at the rifle factory fought desperately till the last, from their perch on the rock. Slave and free, black and white, carried out the special injunction of the brave old Captain, to make sure work of it. The unfortunate targets for so many bullets from the enemy, some of them received two or three balls. There fell poor Kagi, the friend and adviser of Captain Brown in his most trying positions, and the cleverest man in the party; and there also fell Sherrard Lewis Leary, generous-hearted and companionable as he was, and in that and other difficult positions, brave to desperation. There fought John Copeland, who met his fate like a man. But they were all "honorable men," noble, noble fellows, who fought and died for the most holy principles. John Copeland was taken to the guard-house, where the other prisoners afterwards were, and thence to Charlestown jail. His subsequent mockery of ​a trial, sentence and execution, with his companion Shields Green, on the 16th of December—are they not part of the dark deeds of this era, which will assign their perpetrators to infamy, and cause after generations to blush at the remembrance?
