BY
MARIOT ARBUTHNOT, Esq ;
Vice Admiral of the Blue, and Commander in
Chief of his Majesty's Ships and Vessels em
ployed in North America, &c. &c.
HAVING assumed the command of his
Majelly's (hips on this Ration, with the
warmest inclination to give every proper en
couragement to the outfit of private ships and
vessel- of war, so long as their owners andcom
manders (hould keep themselves to the terms
upon which it has been granted ; the employ
ing therein, such seamen, or lea-faring men,
not having previously belonged to the navy,
as might be released from captivity, and such
of the col mills 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, setting forth the great damage his Ma
jesty's service has buffered 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 sea faring man, that may
desert from the King's ships or transports here,
I will press man for man, out of the privateers
and merchant vessels, and my determination is
delivered thus publicly, that not only the mer
chants and adventurers interested in them, but
affo their crews may be warned against the
harbourin. 'deferters from the navy, in any
circumstances or under any pretence whatso
ever, by avoiding which, they will present
any disagreeable consequences from ensuing
to themselves.
