Glouceller battalion of militia, bvcaufe his foul

in harmony united, urged i.iin in execution of all
and each of the dmies of a man. On the instant
he was informed of the disasters on the South
Beach, by the (hip wrecks, he hurried, with what
ever of his men lie fiill met in the flreets, to seize
their aims, with a proportion of ammunition
(without the theory of parade, forms, but the
practice of discipline) and, at their head, battened
to theaid of flouting crews, and the preservation
of ship-wrecked property, with oider for officers
and additional men to follow his ardour, to serve
his fellow creatures, and prefcrve property from
embezzlement.
