November 15, 1783
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Nov. 15, 1783 Page 3 has most of a column taken up with a letter from New York concerning details of the tragic sinking of a transport ship filled with Maryland Loyalists on their way to Nova Scotia. It begins: "With inexpressible grief I inform you that not a man, woman, or child, of your corps, who embarked for Nova Scotia, are now in existence. The unhappy fate of so many gallant friends tortures me with the most heart-breaking anguish...". This was the ship Martha, and details of the tragedy are available on the internet.
Another announcement of this on pg. 5, and also an account concerning what is known as the Pennsylvania Mutiny noting a trial of various men involved. Also a letter concerning disturbances with Indians, etc.
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 inches, very nice condition.
