SCG-C.732.029
22-29 Apr 1732:32 (17)
Last Sunday (being St. George's Day) the celebration of that
festival was defer'd to the day following, when the Company
of Fort-Jolly Voluntiers, consisting of 25 able men, met at
the house of Trooper Pointsett, their usual house of
rendesvous, from whence they proceeded to the water-side, to
imbark on board the transports that lay ready for that
purpose,
. . . [6 lines on an "attack" of the Fort. Possibly a
military practice]
they march'd with indefatigable resolution up to the gates,
with colours flying, drums beating, and trumpets sounding,
&c.
. . . [28 lines follow]
and that they may live to hear their praises sounded, not by
the voice of the trumpet only.
