K. ^nrtPlQ nf % ^, A. "Poetical Versi(3n of the Capture of Prescott' " 'Twas on a dark and stormy night — The wind and waves did roar — Bold Barton then, with forty men, Went down upon the shore. "And in a whale-boat they set off To Rhode Island fair. To catch a redcoat General Who then resided there. "Through British fleets and guard-boats strong They held their dangerous way, Till they arrived unto their port, And then did not delay. "A tawny son of Afric's race Them through the ravine led, And entering then the Overing house. They found him in his bed "But to get in they had no means. Except poor Cuffee's head, W'ho beat the door down, then rushed in, And seized him in his bed. " 'Stop! let me put my clothing on!' The General then did pray ; " 'Your clothing, massa, I will take ; For dress we cannot stay.' "Then through rye stubble him they led. With shoes and clothing none. And placed him in their boat quite snug. And from the shore were gone. (Uaplurp nf J^rt arott 1 2 7 "Soon the alarm was sounded loud: 'The Yankees they have come, And stolen Prescott from his bed. And him have carried hum.' "The drums were beat, sky-rockets flew% The soldiers shouldered arms, And marched around the grounds they knew, Filled with most dire alarms. "But through the fleet with muffled oars They held their devious way, And landed him on 'Gansett shores, Where Britons held no sway. "When unto land the captors came, Where rescue there was none, 'A bold push this,' the General cried, 'Of prisoners I am one.' " MAR 4 1912
