the charge was current that the VIC
TINS set the fire in desperate delibera-
ton, preferring death in that form to
the cruelties they endured. The Sec
ond ship was also destroyed by fire in
February, ITS. The Good Hope,
Prince of Wales, Scorpion and the Old
Jersey took their places, thus forming
a chain of floating charnel houses such
as the world had never seen. The
most notorious, of course, was the Old
Jersey-the "Hell." as she was called.
She was a 64-gup ship, which had been
in an action with a French fleet and 70
badly injured as to be unfit for war
service. She was dismantled Of her
guns, spars and rigging, and even her
figure-head was removed to decorate
a ship in active service. Thus, with
out ornament or motive power to re-
mind one of life, this forbidding hulk,
with her filthy exterior, fifty indicated
her horrible mission when she was
moored in April, ITS, as prison for
American naval prisoners.
