1 89 1.] New Jerseys Revolutionary Flotilla-Men. gn
NEW JERSEY'S REVOLUTIONARY FLOTILLA-MEN IN NEW
YORK'S WATERS.
By Philip Randall Voorhees, Esq.
'Tis said that Marryat wrote "Japhet in Search of a Father" from the
desire to show that his genius for romance was not confined to tales
pertaining to his chosen profession. He, therefore, began his story by
introducing his hero as a foundling, certified to have been born in wed-
lock, and then, in due time, sending him forth on his adventurous search.
This paper is an outgrowth, not of a search like Japhet's, but of
searciies in tracing certain diverging lines of descent from one common
ancestor, who, emigrating from Holland in the year 1660, settled on Long
Island. Therefore, dropping genealogy, my paper, as its title imports,
seeks to recall brave deeds performed by brave men in littoral warfare.
For literary work no aptitude is claimed ; though, by heredity, associa-
tion, and some years of service, great fondness 'for, and some familiarity
with, nautical matters have been imbibed. My endeavor, therefore, has
been to herein marshal historical facts, much as a lawyer would mass
evidential facts in a brief, for the final hearing, in an equity cause.
The battle of Bunker Hill had been fought, the Canada campaign
had ended, and the war in all its practical vicissitudes had begun.
January, 1776, had nearly passed, and New York and New Jersey were
anxiously expecting the enemy's descent upon their shores, from the sea,
when "Lord Stirling and some associates, " says Lossing, "went in four
boats and captured the British transport Blue Mountain Valley, lying oflf
Sandy Hook. " This was " the first small-boat expedition of consequence,^'
says the same writer, and he thus describes the aflfair : " Informed that a
British transport and provision -ship was on the coast, the Committee of
Safety at Elizabethtown ordered four armed boats to attempt its capture.
They came in sight of the vessel about forty miles from Sandy Hook. The
men in the boats were all concealed under hatches except two in each, un-
armed, who managed the oars. The enemy mistook them for fishing vessels,
and allowed them to come alongside. At a preconcerted signal the hatches
were raised, the armed Americans poured upon the deck of the ship, and
in a few minutes she was their prize, hardly a show of resistance having
been made. She was taken in triumph to Elizabethtown Point, where her
cargo was landed." This exploit was performed on the 23d of January,
1776, and for it the actors received the thanks of Congress. Lord Stirling,
a native of New York City, started upon this expedition with his force of
New Jersey soldiers from Elizabeth, but at Amboy he was overtaken by
reinforcements in three boats, under the command of Colonel Elias Dayton,
sent in great haste by the Committee of Safety, in consequence of advices
received at Elizabeth, after Stirling's departure, that an armed ship was
going out of New York to convoy the storeship. The expedition then
became a joint one. Lossing says that it was "under the command of
Elias Dayton and William Alexander. The latter is better known in our
history as Lord Stirling." In Stirling's account of this affair, in his letter
to Congress, under date of January 24, 1776, published in Hatfield's

NEW JERSEY'S REVOLUTIONARY FLOTILLA-MEN IN NEW
YORK'S WATERS.
By Philip Randall Voorhees, Esq.
'Tis said that Marryat wrote "Japhet in Search of a Father" from the
desire to show that his genius for romance was not confined to tales
pertaining to his chosen profession. He, therefore, began his story by
introducing his hero as a foundling, certified to have been born in wed-
lock, and then, in due time, sending him forth on his adventurous search.
This paper is an outgrowth, not of a search like Japhet's, but of
searciies in tracing certain diverging lines of descent from one common
ancestor, who, emigrating from Holland in the year 1660, settled on Long
Island. Therefore, dropping genealogy, my paper, as its title imports,
seeks to recall brave deeds performed by brave men in littoral warfare.
For literary work no aptitude is claimed ; though, by heredity, associa-
tion, and some years of service, great fondness 'for, and some familiarity
with, nautical matters have been imbibed. My endeavor, therefore, has
been to herein marshal historical facts, much as a lawyer would mass
evidential facts in a brief, for the final hearing, in an equity cause.
The battle of Bunker Hill had been fought, the Canada campaign
had ended, and the war in all its practical vicissitudes had begun.
January, 1776, had nearly passed, and New York and New Jersey were
anxiously expecting the enemy's descent upon their shores, from the sea,
when "Lord Stirling and some associates, " says Lossing, "went in four
boats and captured the British transport Blue Mountain Valley, lying oflf
Sandy Hook. " This was " the first small-boat expedition of consequence,^'
says the same writer, and he thus describes the aflfair : " Informed that a
British transport and provision -ship was on the coast, the Committee of
Safety at Elizabethtown ordered four armed boats to attempt its capture.
They came in sight of the vessel about forty miles from Sandy Hook. The
men in the boats were all concealed under hatches except two in each, un-
armed, who managed the oars. The enemy mistook them for fishing vessels,
and allowed them to come alongside. At a preconcerted signal the hatches
were raised, the armed Americans poured upon the deck of the ship, and
in a few minutes she was their prize, hardly a show of resistance having
been made. She was taken in triumph to Elizabethtown Point, where her
cargo was landed." This exploit was performed on the 23d of January,
1776, and for it the actors received the thanks of Congress. Lord Stirling,
a native of New York City, started upon this expedition with his force of
New Jersey soldiers from Elizabeth, but at Amboy he was overtaken by
reinforcements in three boats, under the command of Colonel Elias Dayton,
sent in great haste by the Committee of Safety, in consequence of advices
received at Elizabeth, after Stirling's departure, that an armed ship was
going out of New York to convoy the storeship. The expedition then
became a joint one. Lossing says that it was "under the command of
Elias Dayton and William Alexander. The latter is better known in our
history as Lord Stirling." In Stirling's account of this affair, in his letter
to Congress, under date of January 24, 1776, published in Hatfield's
