_202. Articles of Agreement; the Mars. June 23, 1762._[1]

[Footnote 1: Printed broadside, 20 by 16 inches, preserved among the
papers of the New York vice-admiralty court, no. 85 in the "large
book". It bears near the heading a picture of two vessels, with the
legend, "Success to the Brigantine _Mars_." With these elaborate
articles of agreement may be compared the articles of agreement,
substantially similar, of the Rhode Island privateer _Defiance_, 1756,
in the _Newport Historical Magazine_, II. 198-204, or those of the
_General Washington_ and the _Belisarius_, 1781, presented in
facsimile in the _N.Y. Geneal. and Biog. Record_, LIII. 349-351.]

Hanover-Square.)[3]_

[Footnote 2: The _Mars_ came in on Apr. 21 from a previous cruise,
under the same captain. _New York Mercury_, Apr. 26, 1762. May 22, the
vice-admiralty court pronounced a decree in a suit brought by her
commander, as libellant, against the prize snow _Johnson_. July 2, we
find him, as owner of the _Mars_, 16 guns, petitioning for a fresh
commission as commander of her. _Cal. Hist. MSS. N.Y._, II. 732, 734.
"On Monday last [July 5] sailed from the Hook, on a Cruize against his
Majesty's Enemies, the Privateer Brig _Mars_, Capt. McGillycuddy";
_Mercury_, July 12. The issues of Oct. 18 and Nov. 29 show that she
made many prizes, but lost her captain.]

Mercury_, had his shop at the Bible and Crown in Hanover Square from
1757 to 1800. _Journals of Hugh Gaine_, ed. Paul L. Ford, I. 8, 9.]

the said Brigantine's sailing from the Port of New York, until the
Time of her returning thither agai
