of mrtt'ching diteflly to Bttmswick, which he might have done, mufl
needs go fourteen miles out of the direct road to take prisoner; General
Maxwrll and hit party at Spanlttown. and to make his trium hant entry
into Brttnlsiwick, leading his captives in chaine. like an old omamGe
nt-tctl, in which he found his fatal miliake when too late to remed) it; for
he found thrtt he had sttt'rottnded a nail of Amctican horaets, who soon
put his whole body to flight, pursued them to Ambo , and obliged them
to get on board their ships again, since which they ate never ventured
