Boston. . . As Capt. Bonnet arrived in the night, he first
carried the General and Commodore's dispatches to his
Excellency, then at Dorchester, and on his return,
communicated the joyful tidings to the Hon. Col. Wendell's
company of Militia, then on duty as a military watch, who,
(not able longer to conceal their joy) about 4 o'clock,
alarm'd the town, by firing their guns and beating their
drums, and before five, all the bells in the town began to
ring, and continued ringing most part of the day. . .
