To the P rint e r.
SIR,
IN justice to the humanity shewn to me, and all the
officers and (hip's company of his majesty's late
ihip Blonde, by'the commanders of the American pri
vate ships of war the Lively and Scammel (captains
Adams and Stoddard) have the pleasure to inform the
public, that they not only readily received us on board
their vessels and carried us to Cape Brefue, but chear
fully supplied us with provifious till we landed at Yar
mouth; when on my releasing all the prisoners I had
on board, (in No 64) and giving them a passport
to secure them from our cruizers in Boflon bay, they
generously gave me the fame to prevent our being'made
prisoners of, or plundered by any of their privateers
we might chance to meet with on our passage to Hali
fax : for the relief and comfort they so kindly afforded
ns in our accumulated fufferings and distress, most ar
dently wish and hope, That if those privateers should
ever happen to fall into the hands of any of our ships
of war, that they will treat them with the utmost leni
ty and give them every indulgence in their power, and
not look on them (promiscuously) in the light of other
American prifouets; captain Adam , especially, to
whoml am ynore-particularly obliged, as will be seen
by his letter herewith published.
My warmed thanksare also due to captain Tuck (of
the Blonde's prize flrip Lyon, letter of marque from
Beverly)and to all his officers and men, for their gene
rous and indefatigable endeavours to keep the ship
from finking, (night and day at the pumps) till weall
but one man got out of her, and by the blessing of God
saved our lives.
You will please to publish this in your next paper,
and insert the undermentioned copies of capt. Adams's
letters to me, verbatim, and desire Mr. Howe will do
(he fame on Friday next, which will oblige
Your humble servant,
EDWARD THORNBROUGH,
Commander of his majesty's late ship Blonde.

Your generous and candid behaviour towards the
