* Ibid, VOL. III. N 178 THE BERNARDS OF ABINGTON This is a horrid war for the West Indies ; its effects are extreme soaroity of all neoessaries, and consequently enormous prices. Our seas swarm with French privateers, who are very active and not unsuccessful. . . . Whilst I am writing, a French Bow-boat with sixteen oars has been plainly discovered to have boarded and taken possession of a Mail-boat on her passage from Antigua to Barbados, and to have hoisted French colours over the English. Al...l here is motion and commotion. This day (Sunday), which with you is a day of rest, is here a day of tumult, drunkenness, and riot. As the plantation negroes have this day to themselves, it would indeed be very difficult, if not impossible, to preserve that order and decorum, which is most devoutly to be wished. This unfortunate war had probably a disastrous effect on Sir John's improvement schemes. Whether he was subject to any personal danger in the ensuing years there are no letters to show. That he was grateful for the exertions of his brothers on his behalf there is no reason to doubt from his correspondence, but it is doubtful whether he ever attained to a cheerful view of life.
