Title: CAPT. THOMAS WILSON to LORD WILLOUGHBY.
Description:

--Arrived at this place, after a tedious passage from Bergen, on the 16th, and marched into the town with his four companies without "any contention of the mutineers." That night, by the appointment of the Governor, the principal mutineers were taken by their officers secretly out of their lodgings, and committed to prison, and next morning one of every company was executed. Has shown Sir John Connowaye his Lordship's patent to himself [Wilson] to govern the town in his absence, but finds him "altogether unwilling to part from his government now that he is freed from the mutineers." Signed by mark.
