IN MEMORY OF
SEVENTY TWO SEAMEN, WIIO
PERISHED IN PLYMOUTHI HIAR
BOR ON THE 26th & 27th OF DECEMBER 1778, ON BOARD THE PRIVATE ARMED BRIG
GENERAL ARNOLD OF TWEN- TY GUNS NUMBERING IN
OFFICERS AND CREW ONE
IIUNDRED AND SIX PERSONS
IN ALL, JAMES MAGEE OF
BOSTON COMMANDER, SIXTY
OF WHOM WERE BURIED ON THIS SPOT, AND TWELVE IN
OTHER PARTS OF THE HILL.
The inhabitants of Plymouth were called to witness a most distressing catastrophe in the month of December, 1778, of which the following is a reliable account as pub lished in the Boston Gazette, June 4, 1779:
"On Friday, the 25th ult, at six a. m., the wind to the westward, sailed from this port the brig General Arnold, James Magee, commander; and about meridian the wind chopped round to north-east, and looking likely for a gale, they thought best to put into Plymouth, and came to anchor in a place called the Cow-yard. On Saturday, the gale increasing, she started from her anchor and struck on the White Flat. They then cut both cable and masts away, in hopes to drive over; but she immediately bilged; it being low water, left her quarter-deck dry, where all hands got for relief. A schooner lying within hail heard their cries, but could not assist them. On Sunday the inhabitants were cutting ice most of the day before they got on board, when they saw seventy-five of the men had perished, and thirty-four very much frozen, which they got on shore and on Monday they got on shore and buried the dead. Great part of her stores, etc., will be saved. Some evil-minded persons have raised a report that she was plundered by the inhabitants, which is entirely false, as they behaved with the greatest humanity. The following are the persons taken off the wreck of the General Arnold, that survived the ship-wreck : Capt. James Magee, John Steel, Jotham Haughton, George Pilsbury, Peter Moorfield, Robert Hinman, Dennis Flin, Thomas Farmer,-Stevens, John Bubbey, James Hutchinson, Andrew Kelley, Francis Fires, Daniel English, Robert Mitson, James Kent, -Robertson, James Rughley, of Boston: James Williams, David Williams, Chelsea; George Chockley, Bedford; Eleazer Thayer, - Potter, Providence; Wm. Russell, Vineyard; Abel Willis, Edward Bur- gess, Jethro Naughton, - Coffin, - Merchant, William Gardner, - Chapman, Martha's Vineyard; - Dunham, Falmouth; Barnabas Lathrop, Barnabas Downs, 'Jun'r, Barnstable."
The inhabitants of Plymouth provided for the comfort of the survivors in the best possible manner and ministered everything necessary to their restoration, with a ten- derness and social sympathy characteristic of our best people.
On Monday the inhabitants passed over the ice to the wreck. Here was presented a scene unutterably awful and distressing. It is scarcely possible for the human mind to conceive of a more appalling spectacle. The ship was sunk ten feet in the sand: the waves had been for about thirty-six hours sweeping the main deck ; the men had crowded to the quarter deck, and even here they were obliged to pile together dead bodies to make room for the living. Seventy dead bodies, frozen into all im- aginable postures, were strewed over the deck, or attached to the shrouds and spars; about thirty exhibited signs of life, but were unconscious whether in life or death. The bodies remained in the posture in which they died; the features dreadfully dis-

torted. Some were erect, some bending forward, some sitting with the head resting on the knees, and some with both arms extended, clinging to the spars or some parts of the vessel The dead were piled on the floor of the Court House, and it is said that Dr. Robbins fainted when called to perform the religious services.
Among those who perished were Dr. Mann, of Attleborough, and Dr. Sears. Sixty persons were buried in one pit, on the south west side of the burial hill, at which is the above tablet.
