Majesty's ship Rippon, Sir Francis Bernard of Nettleham
Bart. . . [14 lines describing departure of Sir Francis
Bernard from Boston.] On Monday evening the Baronet, being
unwilling to give himself and friends, if he has any, the
trouble of a formal leave, or the people an opportunity to
hiss him off the stage, sneaked down to Castle-William. . .
[12 more lines concluding description of his departure and
describing celebrations that began once the vessel had
sailed.] The bells were rung, and cannon fired incessantly
'till sunset. . . [9 more lines.]
