    The adventures in the privateer service are full of ro-
    mance. The St. Andrews, one of the first privateers fitted
    out, went ashore on the Florida Keys ; there four of her men
    were taken prisoners and carried off to Havana, where tliey
    remained 14 months, and then they were sent under a flag
    of truce to New Providence, and from the latter place
    they were sent home. The King George, of which Peter
    Marshall was the commander, was the subject of a terri-
    ble shipwreck at Cape Hatteras, on the coast of North
    Carolina, in 1750. Marshall lost one of his limbs, and by
    a paralj'sis of the spine was disabled for life. Both the
    vessel and her commander had seen much service in the
    then late war.
    
    
    The Prince Fredeiick, Peter Marshall, master, took a French snow
    from Nantz for St. Francois and sent her to Jamaica, May 27. She,
    with Dolphin, took a large French ship with dry goods, wine, &c.,
    armed with 17 guns, June 30, 1746.
