The Freeman's Journal, Or, New Hampshire Gazette

WHEN the RALEIGH FRIGATE went down the River, every well Wisher to the Cause seemed to vie with each other in paying Respect to the Continental Colours as she passed along—particularly at Fort WASHINGTON. where the lines was manned, and the Soldiers all drawn up in great Order, the commanding officer "Pricked" them on to shew their Joy, in a most extraordinary polite Manner. Lt. W-o-E saluted with his Pike, in a method quite new; the Soldiers took every Motion from the Lieutenant, and went thro' the whole Manoeuvres in a most surprizing Manner—the Day was so very windy. made it impossible to hoist the Colours at either of the Forts ;—but to shew their Humiliation to the THIRTEEN UNITED STATES, they laid their Flags low in the Dust.
