APPENDIX TO CHAPTER V 639 I'avant garde de la flotte Suedoise, et des officiers sous ses ordres, qu'ils ont fait la plus brave defense, ct ne ses sont rendres que par la necessite de leur situation actuelle. En foi de quoi j'ai signd le present et y ai fait apposes le cachet de mes armes, a bord du Rostislaff ce 9 Juillet 1788. Saml. Greig. " Amiral Commandant en chef la flotte de Sa Majeste imperiale de toutes les Hussies, Chevalier des ordres de St. Alexandre Nevsky, de St. George de la secon...de classe, de St. Vladimir de la premiere et de Ste. Anne." (From the Gustavian Collection in the University library of Upsala. Greig's spelling is preserved in the copy.) The following report, found in the State Archives at Stockholm, is by Captain L. Berch of the Russian ship-of-the-line ^Tadimir, captured by the Swedes at Gogland (Hogland), 1788, and was intercepted on its way to Russia. Captain Berch was a German, and apparently a military ofiicer, but his officers and crew were Russian, and the report may be taken as an interesting indication of the amount of punishment a Russian ship would take in those days ; it may possibly serve also as some gauge for these and the future ; w^hile to present-day idea both this and the Swedish report may possess certain unintentional bits of humour.
