9 Nov 1775 Jahr - Skirmish at Rebellion Road

Beschreibung:

The British sloop, HMS Tamar, captured a Georgian sloop in a heavy fog. On board was a load of apples and cider bound for Georgia. Gunner George Walker, who had capitulated Fort Johnson and had recently been paroled, was given command of the newly-captured sloop. As soon as the HMS Tamar was out of sight, Georgia Capt. John Wanton and his men seized Gunner George Walker and his mate and placed them in the hold. Capt. Wanton sailed to Savannah and turned over the two men to the Committee and collected £200 for the boxes of arms.
