and a desire that Friends generally do, as much as may be, avoid buying such negroes as shall hereafter be brought in, rather than offend any Friends who are against it; yet this is only caution, and not censure. In the mean time the New England Yearly Meeting was agitated by the same question. Slaves were imported into Boston and Newport, and Friends became purchasers, and in some instances were deeply implicated in the foreign traffic. In 1716, the monthly meetings of Dartmouth and Nantucket suggested that it was not agreeable to truth to purchase slaves and keep them during their term of life.

the Montauk, and the Patapsco, followed the Weehawken; then, with the admiral on board, came the frigate New Ironsides, which occupied the centre in order to facilitate the transmission of orders. Directly astern of her rode the Catskill, the Nantucket, and the Nahant, the column being closed by the Keokuk. A battle between a fleet and a fortress presents in its surroundings all the solemnity of an ancient tournament: it admits of no surprises or masked manoeuvres. As soon as the sun, dised them greatly and rendered the process of aiming very difficult. The Passaic had withdrawn; the Patapsco could only make use of one of her two guns. Of the three vessels that had arrived last, two had also been seriously damaged: one of the Nantucket's guns had been completely disabled after the third fire, while on board the Nahant the failure to use the precaution which had been adopted on board the other vessels had proved fatal to the gunners: the shock of the enemy's projectiles upon t
