Two years later the Triton sailed again with a letter-of- marque. Her commander, Capt. Thomas MacFarlan, made his admiralty return on April 18, 1744, giving her owner as John Banister, her officers as Lieutenant Cambey Hood, Mate John Hugh, Gunner Edward Bentley, Boatswain Thomas Beals and Carpenter Joseph Atkinson. The Triton carried a crew of 36 men, far too small a number for a privateering cruise.
In the early years of the war, Banister was greatly in- terested in privateering, having an interest in three of the six

RHODE ISLAND PRIVATEERS
Rhode Island privateers in 1740. He sold his interest in the Revenge and the Virgin Queen in 1741, and we hear no more of the Victory as a privateer after 1742. The impressment of the Virgin Queen into H. M. service, and the financial irregularities of her captain, together with the litigation over prizes and prize money, seems to have discouraged Banister. He con- tinued to hold an interest in the privateer Prince William, but the Triton, Lee, London and Patience, fitted out by him, were letters-of-marque rather than privateers.
Late in 1744 the snow Queen Elizabeth was fitted out at Providence, R. I., by John Box, William Coffin, James Adams and Isaac Doubt. She was a vessel of 140 tons, armed with Io carriage and 20 swivel guns, and provisioned for a six months' cruise. Her outfitting return is dated February 16, 1744-5, and gives her officers as Capt. Isaac Doubt, Mate William James, Boatswain Thomas Jones and Carpenter James Jackson, and her crew as 25 men. She was a letter-of- marque rather than a true privateer, and was soon captured by the enemy as is related in the account of the Duke of Marlborough.
Another vessel of the letter-of-marque class was the ship Mary, a galley of 200 tons, fitted out at Newport in the summer of 1745. She was armed with 14 guns, carried a crew of 30 men, and provisions for nine months. She was owned by Henry Darrall, and officered by Capt. George Darracott, Chief Mate James Dods, Second Mate John Redmand, Gunner Anthony Tyler, Boatswain John Kenneby and Car- penter Samuel Pool.
The years 1744, 1745 and 1746 saw the greatest activity of Rhode Island privateers. A marked decline in their num- bers occurred in the last two years of the war. Some of the privateers of earlier years naturally continued cruising, but
[ 202 ]
RHODE ISLAND PRIVATEERS
few new vessels were commissioned. Of those newly com- missioned in 1747 and 1748, five were letters-of-marque.
The ship Patience, 270 tons, 16 guns, was built at Newport by Daniel Goddard, shipbuilder, for John Banister, ship- broker, who acted as agent for John Steadman of Rotter- dam. Banister fitted out the Patience and charged Steadman £18,839-9-II for her "cost and outsett". Robert Brown, was put in command of the Patience, and on May 11, 1747, returned the following list of officers: Lieutenant John Brown, Master Samuel Grigg, Gunner Robert Daws and Carpenter Eliphalet Brown. The Patience carried a crew of 25 men, and provisions for a cruise of 24 months.
The ship London, variously listed as 371 or 390 tons, and mounting 18 guns, was built at Newport by David Jones, shipwright (not he of "locker" fame), for John Banister, ship- broker, agent for John Radburn of London. The vessel was fitted out by Banister at a cost of £38,414-4-1034 for con- struction and outfitting, to which Banister's commission of £1,920-14-234 must be added. The London was commanded by Capt. Robert Mudie with Lieut. Thomas Sharpe, Master Alexander Inglish, Gunner William Chamberlayn, Boatswain John Goodman and Carpenter Isaac Legg. She carried a crew of 80 men, provisions for twelve months, and a cargo for the Leeward Islands valued at about £3,500. The captain's return to the Admiralty clerk was dated February 1, 1747-8.
Another vessel in the same class with the Patience and the London, as far as privateering is concerned, was the Lee frigate. She was built at Newbury by Abel Merrell, ship- builder, for John Banister, on behalf of himself and Samuel Clark, Esq. of London. Clark had a quarter interest and Banister three-quarters interest. The ship Lee was a frigate of 300 tons, which cost £21,309-14-4. She carried 10 guns, 40 men,
[ 203 ]
RHODE ISLAND PRIVATEERS
and six months' provisions, her return of officers being dated November 10, 1747. She was commanded by Capt. Latham Stanton, with Master James Brown, Gunner Samuel Stacey and Boatswain William Smith. The return states that she was owned by John Rathbun (i. e. Radburn) of London and John Banister of Newport.
Although her crew was given as 40 men in the captain's certificate, she sailed with apparently a crew of only 14 men. Bound for Jamaica, the Lee frigate got within ten leagues of the island, when she was attacked by two Spanish xebecks, each of which mounted 10 carriage guns, two of which were 18 pounders, and 25 swivel guns, and were manned with about 190 men. A xebeck is a light three-masted vessel, carrying both square and lateen sails, originally used in the Mediter- ranean, and brought over to the New World by the Spaniards. Captain Stanton, with only 14 hands, courageously fought the xebecks for three and a half hours. The New Englander's gunfire was so severe, that one of the xebecks was very badly damaged, and was leaking so rapidly, that her captain was forced to careen her to one side while her leaks were stopped. She later returned to the battle, whereupon the two xebecks took up positions, one on each quarter of the Lee, and from these vantage points finally overpowered her. They carried the Lee into St. Jago (Santiago de Cuba), where the prisoners were treated with great humanity (a character foreign from that Port) occasioned by Captain Paunchy, commander of one of the xebecks," who had been a prisoner at Rhode Island, where he had received such usage as to induce him to declare that he made a point of treating all Rhode Island seamen with compassion.
A ship of 270 tons, called the Duke of Cumberland, was fitted out at Newport by Henry Collins. She mounted 16
[ 204 ]
RHODE ISLAND PRIVATEERS
guns and carried a crew of 50 men with provisions for six months. Her officers were: Capt. Peter Marshall, Lieu- tenant Edward Johnson, Master Huxford Merchant, Mate John Geran, Gunner John Holmes, Boatswain John Leg and Carpenter Thomas Kettle, according to her outfitting return, which was dated March 31, 1747. Although Captain Marshall was a veteran privateersman, and Lieutenant Johnson had served on the Hector, this second Duke of Cumberland, on account of her insufficient crew, would seem to be a letter-of- marque rather than a privateer.
The brigantine Mary and Anne, 150 tons and 10 guns, was fitted out at Newport, in 1747, by John Channing, Walter Chaloner and Moses Levey. Her officers were: Capt. Wil- liam Richards, Lieutenant Burnet Richards, Gunner Paul Parliament, Boatswain Roderick McLeod and Carpenter Wil- liam Thurston. The outfitting return is dated May 28, and records a crew of 25 men and provisions for six months.
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.
The privateer sloop Henry of St. Christopher, 60 tons and Io guns, appears to have refitted at Newport in 1748. Her outfitting return is dated April 25, 1748, and gives her owner as Henry Sharp of St. Christopher. She carried a crew of 30 men, and was commanded by Capt. Othniel Tarr, doubtless the same man who, in 1741, was serving as a seaman on the Massachusetts Province snow Prince of Orange. His lieutenant was Lewis Gust. The Henry probably received news of peace, while yet at Newport, and so presumably sailed direct for St. Kitts.
THE Tyger, CAPTAIN TOWNSEND.
The brigantine Tyger is said to have been fitted out as a privateer in Rhode Island in 1744 or early 1745, although no
[ 205 ]
RHODE ISLAND PRIVATEERS
reference to her has been found in any local documents. She was commanded by Captain Townsend, and early in 1745 was captured by a Spanish privateer sloop commanded by Capt. Julian José de la Vega, when just off the Bar of Charleston, S. C. within sight of the town. There were two men-of-war in the harbor, but they were not in readiness for sea, and so could not go to her assistance. De la Vega's sloop was Bermuda-built, with a high stern and a round-house painted red. She carried 10 carriage guns (4 pounders) and 8 or 10 swivel guns. Captain de la Vega carried the Tyger into St. Augustine. Don Julian de la Vega was captured by H. M. S. Tartar and Aldborough in May 1746.
Two Spanish privateers had been cruising off Curacao in the winter of 1740-I, and had taken several vessels, thus interfering with the commerce of that island. About Feb- ruary or March, 1740-I "two Rhode Island and Philadelphia privateers and a privateer snow" were at Aruba careening. The citizens of Curacao, hearing of this, sent Captain Kier- stead, a New York privateersman, to the privateers at Aruba to inform them that they had collected 5,000 pieces-of-eight as a reward for whoever would take or destroy the two Spanish privateers.
In the "Boston News-Letter" for November 25, 1742, is a news item from Curacao, which relates that while three Eng- lish privateers were careening at the nearby island of Aruba, a Dutch ship of 24 guns, manned with 140 men, was fitted out by the merchants of Curacao and sent to Aruba. She sur- prised and easily captured the privateers, which were in no position to make any defense. The reason the Dutch gave for this punative expedition was that the English privateers had some time before taken a Dutch ship. The privateers, one of which belonged to Rhode Island and the other two to St.
[ 206 ]
RHODE ISLAND PRIVATEERS
Christopher, were taken to Curacao and sold. The captains were imprisoned and the men whipped. This coup of the Dutch seems like a distorted account of Captain Love's mis- fortune, although the discrepency of dates would make it a different affair.
News reached Boston in December, 1743, that a Rhode Island privateer had captured a prize, which had on board eighty thousand pieces-of-eight, and had taken her into Nevis to be condemned. This privateer has not as yet been identified.
During the summer of 1746 a Rhode Island privateer and a Bermuda privateer, sailing in consort, took two small French privateers in the vicinity of Tortola.
Sheffield, in his "Privateers", says that the privateer Wentworth, owned by Godfrey Malbone and Stephen Hopkins, sailed in 1741 under the command of Capt. Esek Hopkins, and that the privateer Molly was commanded by Thomas Fry and owned by William Vernon in 1745. No other mention of these privateers has been found. Sheffield collected a great deal of valuable information, and it is not at all surprising that an occasional error should be found in his notes on privateering, especially in regard to prizes. It is perhaps well to call atten- tion to two items that might otherwise lead to some confusion. In a newspaper article, Sheffield gives the Triton as com- manded by George Cornell in 1741, but in his "Privateers" states that in 1741 she was commanded by William J. Bonfield. On page 48 Sheffield states that the two ill-fated privateers, commanded by Cranston and Brewer, that sailed in 1745, were owned by Sueton Grant, but this is an error for Godfrey Malbone, and the ownership of one of them is given correctly on page 46 under the date of 1745.

THE PRIVATEER Jack.
The "Letter of Marque Jack", or "Privateer Jack", of King George's War is the so-called "burgee flag" used as a jack. Section XII of the "Instructions to Privateers", issued November 30, 1739, reads:
"That no Commander of a Merchant ship or vessel who shall have a Letter of Marque or Commission as aforesaid, shall presume as they will answer it at their peril, to wear any Jack, pendant or any other Ensign or Colour, usually born by our Ships, but that besides the Colours born usually by merchant-ships, they do wear a red jack with the Union Jack described in the canton at the upper corner thereof near the staff."
