And the whole party were then to embark and en- deavour to gain the American squadron. This plan was confined to Captain Bainbridge and a few of the original projectors of it. On the eve of its execution. Captain Bainbridge wrote to the Tripolitan minister to inform him, that as no regard had been paid to their parole, he deem- ed himself justified in attempting to regain his liberty, and recommending the officers who should be left behind to his particular care and atten- tion. To those office...rs themselves he addressed a note, stating, that as all could not make the at- tempt, it was necessarily confined to its projectors ^ that the escape of himself and so many officers^ would enable them to render the greatest services to those who remained, and hasten the period of their liberation, by lessening the sum to be de- manded by the Tripolitans. When these arrange- ments were concluded, the party reached the win- dow, but it blew so violent a gale of wind, that they were obliged to postpone the project ; and Captain Bainbridge, finding that his departure excited uneasiness in the minds of some of the officers, abandoned the expedition, and determined to share their fate.
