SIR--Concciving it my duty to make
known the treatment exhibited by Brit.
ish officers and men tathosc Wild Asc so
unfortunate as TO fall In their power, |
am induced to acquaini you with thesiol-
lowing circumstances
Alter the surrender OF the Syren 10
the Medway, the officers and crew Of the
former were removed to the latter, the
crew not being allowed the privilege of
taking their clothing, &c. with them, SO
that the prize crew had fair opportun-
lty of plundering such articles as they
thought proper, which opportunity they
took care 10 profit by, as many of our
men were pillaged Of all they possessed,
excepting what they had OH at the time !;
and the officers in like manner were plum
dered or board the Midway the mid
shipmen, some of them, were completely
stripped, others lost their watches, &c.
For my own part, came off with
the loss of about half my clothing, and
thought myself well off when compared
with the losses of my sbipmates. The
morning after our capture we were mus
tered on the quarter deck to undergo a
search the men were there stripped to
the skin, and their clothing not returned,
SO that many of them were LETT without
any thing more than shirt and trowsers; /;
the next day Mr.. Barton (the first lieu
tenant Of the Medway) distributed the
clothing he had taken from Our men, to
his quarter masters and quarter -gunners,
in my presence.-After being on board
the Medway five weeks, we were landed
at Simons Town, Is miles to the east
ward Of the Cape of Good Hope, my.
self and brother officers paroled, and the
men marched to Cape Town under an
escort OF dragons, being obliged to ford
lake on the march, where the bows
were compelled to go over on the backs
of the tp men; this march of twenty FIVE
miles was performed in one day, and with
out shoes or food, the latter article they
were kept without four and twenty hours; !;
their shoes were stolen by the crew OF
the Mcdway while they were asleep; al
ter remaining IN this situation nearly eiehj
months, without bed or beding (they
were not even furnished with Straw, and
their hammocks were taken on plea of
their being public property, we were all
embarked i'll different men of war and In
diamen, for England; myself with about
sixty officers and men, in the Cumber-
land "a, Capt. Baker were all put on
the lower gun deck without distinction.
among their own crew, and fed on pris-
oner's allowance and on my remonstrat.
ing with the Captain for receiving such
treatment, he ordered me off the quarter
deck, with threat at the same tine, 10
put me in irons. Weremaiued in this sit
uation eighteen days, after which Lieuts.
German, Gordon and myself were re.
moved TO the Grampus, 80, at St Helena,
admitted to the Wardroom mess and
treated with civility.
