"WHereas in the Moneth of November last past, one Henry Mnd, Commander of a Merchant Ship, called, The John Hopewell of London, had his Ship Pyratically plundered upon the Coast of Guinea, by one Henry King, a notorious Pirate, who formerly used the Pennsilvania Trade. At the same time there did revolt and run away with him Nicholas Gilebrand, , Leonard Rawlins, Edward Atterberry, Emanuel, a Portaguese, John Saunders, VVilliam Parker of Sunderland, John Haus.Francis Brown, a Negro, all Marriners belonging to the said Ship John Hopewell of London, whereof the said Henry Commander. And whereas it is supposed that several of the said Pyrates are lurking some where within this and the Provinces I have therefore thought fit, by and with the Advice of his Majesties Council, to issue this my Proclamation.
