of laR March, with three officers arid feme pri
vates, at a place called Long-Lane, in South-
Carolina, they were immediately marched to
Gilbert-town, in North Carolina, a diriance
of one hundred miles, where Capt. Dunlap
was most inhumanly murdered in the middle of
the night, as he lay keeping with tw6 of the
officers who were taken with him. Five of the
rebel militia entered the room about 1 'o'clock
at night, and came'to the bed with a lighted
# candle, and immediately difeharged two pistols
at his head, the explosion of Cvhich awakened
his two companions, and finding Capt. Dun
lay was ffiot, they importuned the rebels not
to murder them ; the bed was on fire, and the
flames increasing very sass; the rebels desired
them to put out the fire, or else they would
immediately shoot them. This was done with
the assistance of water at that time in the room,
they then demanded Capt. Duplap's helmet,
boots and fours, &c. and desired the surviving
to lie down, on which they left the room for
about five minutes and then returned, when
one of them going up to the bed exclaimed,
Damn him be is not yet dead, and difeharged ano
ther pifiol at him, and then left the room. —
Some time after the officers finding the rebels
had entirely left the house, infpefled the bo
dy, and found Capt. Dunlap still alive and a-
Ib!e to speak, desiring Capt, Cozens to dress

and Colonel Martin, and proceeceo eastward
with intention to land at Wed Haven, in Con

ihore, where they difeoveted and ca. tu r ^d < wo
whaleboats concealed in a wood half a m^ .
from shore, belonging to a partv of Rebels
who were gone in quest of plunder on Long*
Tfland. In the evening'of the 30th ri ey crossed
the Sound, landed in the ni,t undiscovered
at Weft-Haven, marched two miles into the
country, fmpized and made prilfers of 4
guard, conf&ngf twelve men, being nine
months men. They also took a Captain of
militia,and two other inhabitants,in all fifteen.
In the town near the meeting house they found
a field piece, which they spiked, an .1 threw in
to a deep well. This done, the party remr cd
and re imbatked without the loss of a man,
having firft put about twenty head rs cuk,
and fix valuable horses on board jheir.v ffis.
On their return, near Stratford, they #fr er

boat, of tnrec marts and 26 oars, carryingtwo
marts and a large arm cheH. Sails, and a full
number of oars, were found in the boat. The
crew escaped by plunging into the Water, and
wading to the shore, 1 bus far foccefs had

The other vessels took the people on board,
