Extract of a letter from Norfolk, October 1. Yesterday came
ashore about 15 of the King's soldiers, and marched up to
the printing-office, out of which they took all the types
and part of the press, and carried them on board the new
ship Eilbeck; . . . And upon the drums beating up and down
the town, there were only about 35 men to arms. . . [18
