As I was ke ^irig down the river with
a di-ep loaded vcffcl,- ray Gable patted
near the powder works ; however as .he
buoy was to the Anchor, tho' very 11 «

very near, accordingly another Anchor
being'immediately let go, the Boat w.,s
lent on fhore, and in about X hours the.'
Divers were brought, (it was near flack
Water, the tide of ebb) They've re fbewrt
the Buoy and deftred to take the end of
a Cable Clown to faften to thc Anchor (it
was' in 3 fathom water) r!^ aficed if I

had an order from Mr S----I told

ihcm no, and in retum aflced them if they
were his lervants, they laid no, they were
neither his, nor any body's fervants, but
if t Iky did any diving bufinefs, tor anyone
without .his Ordeis hewouid flog them,
and that they had no one to complain
to, it being well known thc B—-f—was
his particular friend; it was in vain for
me to tell them, that tho' they had no
right to go a looking out for anchors on
their own accords, yet when a Ge'ntle]$»ari
f-nt for them f'0.1 ids own Anchor, of.
which thc Cable was juft broke, and thc
Buoy remaining to it, that no one had a-
ny right to hinder them, that I had not
time to fend to Mr. S—-a—-as it would '
be night before the next low water and •
that I would not loofe another ebb for
500 R"s. One of the people (hewed me
his back (which to be fure had been trim-
med) and faid that was a flogging he got
for the Very fame bufinefs——In fhort I
wa9 obliged to go and leave my Anchor
