, and was on board the flag-ship near by until signal was made from the Weehawken that she was sinking. At about 1 P. M. Ensign Chadwick, observing that the water partially flooded the captain's cabin, called the assistance of Mr. Allen, the chief engineer, and they put on and secured the cross-bars to the iron door before mentioned. The water gradually rose in the windlass-room, as indicated by the leak about the door and in about thirty minutes it was on the top of the door (Reports of Stuyvesant and Chadwick). A court of inquiry found that the causes of the sinking of the Weehawken were: The additional weight of ammunition that had been lately put on board of her, leaving her trim so little by the stern as not to afford sufficient inclination for water to get to the pumps freely. The neglect to close the hawse-hole, which permitted the rapid accumulation, at the forward extremity of the vessel, of sufficient water to bring her nearly on an even keel. The large amou

Massachusetts, strong in its charter, made no haste 1660. to present itself in England as a suppliant. The colony of Boston, wrote Stuyvesant, Albany Records, XVIII. 124 Oct. 6. 1660. remains constant to its old maxims of a free state, dependent on none but God.

he obtained for himself and partners a portion of the territory of Virginia; for the colony he did not secure one franchise. It merits remark that, even at the hands of Charles ii., the democratic colonies of Rhode Island and Connecticut received greater favor than Virginia.

But this remedy was partial and transient. By the very nature of foreign commerce, the act of navigation could easily be executed in Virginia, because the colony had few ships of its own, and no foreign vessel dared to enter its ports; and the unequal legislation pr

Henceforward no native of America could hope to receive any lucrative commission under the crown, unless he were one of the martyrs to the Stamp Act.
