AN
ACCOUNT
Of
the
BURNING
of
Havre
de
Grace
,
By
Their
Majesties
FLEET
under
the
Command
of
My
Lord
BERKLEY
.
BY
an
Express
arrived
last
Night
at
Six
a
Clock
from
my
Lord
Berkly
,
we
have
received
the
following
Account
,
dated
off
of
Havre
de
Grace
at
Five
a
Clock
in
the
Afternoon
,
July
the
18th
.
1694.
My
Lord
Berkley
having
laid
the
Town
of
Deipe
into
Athes
by
the
many
Bombs
which
he
threw
into
it
,
insomuch
that
there
is
not
a
House
standing
,
weighed
Anchor
on
the
14th
.
and
directed
his
Course
towards
the
Mouth
of
the
River
Seine
,
where
we
arrived
the
16th
.
It
was
thought
fit
in
the
Council
of
War
to
Bombard
Havre
de
Grace
,
and
accordingly
the
next
Morning
,
our
Bombing
Vessels
drew
near
the
Place
,
and
Played
their
Bombs
into
it
with
so
good
an
effect
,
that
the
Town
was
set
on
Fire
in
several
Places
;
we
continued
this
Morning
,
and
by
the
help
of
a
High
Wind
which
blows
since
break
of
day
,
the
Town
,
as
far
as
we
can
judge
,
is
all
in
Flames
.
The
Enemy
has
made
a
great
Fire
upon
us
from
their
Bastions
and
Citadel
,
both
with
their
Canon
and
Bombs
,
but
with
small
Success
,
saving
only
that
one
of
their
Bombs
has
sunk
one
of
our
Bombing
Vessels
,
in
which
was
Captain
Silver
,
who
has
been
saved
,
but
with
the
misfortune
of
having
one
of
his
Legs
broken
off
.
My
Lord
Berkley
intends
to
continue
here
till
the
Town
is
all
in
ashes
;
and
that
the
Enemy
may
not
quench
the
Fire
,
we
continue
to
play
our
Bombs
upon
the
Place
,
and
upon
the
Citadell
.
