Description (What the record is about)

Folios 246-247: Joseph Short, [Regulating Officer] Lynn [Kings Lynn]. Reply to letter dated 20 January 1798 which inclosed a Petition and letter of Mr Hogg a Merchant of this Town. He informs that on the 11 January 1798 he received information that one of the Greenland Men (Thomas Wood) had deserted from this Rendezvous in the time of Captain , now Admiral [Isaac?] Prescott. He took a Midshipman and part of the gang and apprehended him. He admitted he broke from the Rendezvous on the night he was impressed. A Midshipman recollected that he was impressed on shore about 9 o'clock in the evening in the latter end of 1793, that Wood with another man that was impressed belonged to the Walpol a Merchant Ship in the Harbour. There is every reason to suspect they were both armed and that making resistance Wood struck one of the people so violent a blow on the head as rendered him incapable of serving in the gang. [Mentions Lieutenant James Symons].
