[Within "Narrative or Journal of Dr. John F.D. Smith,
Captain, and Surgeon in the Queen's Royal Rangers, who was
taken prisoner by the rebels in Nov. 1775, and lately
escaped from them, and arrived here in the Daphne.]. . . I
was then delivered up again to the Committee of Hagar's
Town, who made use of every artifice of promises and threats
to corrupt my principles, and when all would not avail,
ordered me to be carried to the Congress to Philadelphia, in
irons. A fresh guard with a major, a captain, two
lieutenants, &c. then set off with me tied as before, and my
horse tied also with two ropes, and led by two of the guard,
accompanied with drum and fife, beating the Rogue's March,
which they seemed particularly fond of. . . [narrative
