On Tuesday, August 9th, in this year, the people of Stonington were most unpleasantly surprised to see approaching the point, under full sail, foar vessels of the British navy, namely the 'Pactolus, ' seventy-four guns; the 'Ramillies, ' thirty-eight; the 'Dispatch, ' twenty-two, and the bomb-ship 'Terror. ' This fleet came to anchor a short distance inside Fisher's Island. Immediately a small boat put off from the side of the flagship and made its way toward the shore bringing a dis- patch fro...m Captain Hardy to the townspeople. The import of the message was this: 'One hour will be given to the unoffending inhabitants to leave the town. If this request is not complied with I will commence the bombardment. ' Captain Hardy's name was signed to this letter and it was a name to be respected, for Hardy was a famous sea captain and a close friend of Admiral Nelson, England's great naval hero. In fact, it was Hardy who embraced Nelson for the last time as the Admiral was dying.
"The people of Stonington were naturally angered at this unprovoked assault and sent a decidedly negative answer back to the commander.
