Singularly enough, it was as be- fore, a midsummer day, or rather it was the evening of such a day, (the 9th of June, 1772, ) that I saw two craft, one, a schooner, in chase of the other, a sloop. It was the British schooner Gaspee at- tempting to overhaul the New York packet Hanfiah, then on her way to Providence. The Gaspee failed in her endeavor, and grounded firm and fast on Namquit Point, the long, low sandy land just across there in Pomham's country, Shawomet, but now it forms a part of t...he Spring Green Farm. Hard and fast there lay the Gaspee, and night descending — I slept, but scarcely had I slept when I was awakened by the wild shouting of men. Across the waters the shouts came in clear and distinct utter- ances. I could see nothing in the dark- ness ; presently all was again quiet ; a light i6 became discernable. It was on board the Gaspee. Larger and larger it grew — the wild flames enveloped the hull, and leaped to the topmasts, the ship was on fire and burned to the water's edge.
