Chatham, October 24. The following was published a few days
since in a hand bill at New-York]
[Handbill supporting recruiting efforts for the British
Navy]
. . . And the Chamber of Commerce, and the other loyal
inhabitants will add a bounty of Three Guineas to each
volunteer who goes upon this important service, besides
plenty of honest grog, to cheer their hearts and drink the
King's Health, and success to his arms.
"Hearts of Oak are our ships,
"Hearts of Oak are our men;
"We always are ready, steady boys, steady!
"We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again."
This noble chorus again ecchoed with propriety, will make
the heart of the young Prince leap for joy, and glory in the
profession of a sailor.
