MARIOT ARBUTHNOT, Efc|;
Vice-Admiral of the Blue, and Commander in
Chief of his Majeity, Ships and Vessels em
ployed in North-America, &c. &c
HAVING assumed the command of bis
Mijefty's ships on this Nation, with the
warmest inclination to give every proper En
couragement to the outfit of private ships and
vessels of war, so long as their owners andcom
mander? should keep themselves to the terms
upon which it has been granted) the employs
ing therein, such seamen, or fea-faring men,
not having previously belonged to the navy,
as might be released from captivity, and such
of the colonies as might return to their allegi
ance. and be inclined to serve with them, I
observe with concern, that notwithstanding
the repeated publications of Sir George Col
lier, fating forth the great damage hi/Ma
jeftv’s service has fuffered from the various
methods pursued, to entice seamen to desert
from it: Low people are hired, public houses
set up, and every attempt continued to be
made to seduce them from their duty, insomuch
that no boat can come on Ihore, but every art
likely to prevail with them is pradifed, and
too often with success.
As therefore all entreaties to forbear from
these wicked and unlawful practices have prov
ed vain; Ido hereby declare, that in future
for every seaman, or fea-faring man, that may
desert from the King's ships or transports here,
I will press man for man, outof the privateers
and merchant vessels, and my determination is
delivered thus publicly, that not only the mer
chants and adventurers interfiled in them, but
also their crews may be warned against the
harbouring deserters from the navy, in any
circumstances or under any pretence whatso
ever, by avoiding which, they will prevent
any disagreeable consequences from ensuing
to themselves.
