The king's ships hovered about the coasts, off the most frequented ports, boarded mer- chant-ships returning sometimes from long voyages, and carried off young fellows as they were on the point of revisiting their homes, often never to be heard of again. That was the fate of several of my own relatives by my mother's side, and it has often led me to ask what England will do in the event of THE PRESS-GANG. 163 a great naval war, for I cannot suppose the system of pressing will be tolerated. One ...of the numbers of the ' Country Spectator ' is the touching narrative of a thriving fisherman inter- cepted by a frigate on his return from a cruise, and then, after a service which promised promotion and prize-money, cut in two by a cannon-ball in one of Rodney's actions. His three sons were taken up by the Marine Society, which made two of them sailors. But there was no provision for the widow, and she soon died in a workhouse. Our servants had many stories of the press-gang, some very pitiable.
