 Evading British warships by staying close to the shore, the Patriots were able to completely surprise Prescott Sentinel shortly after midnight on July 10th. They took the general, who was the British commander for Rhode Island, directly on board a Patriot vessel without even giving him the opportunity to dress. You know, Colonel, it's no problem, you know, giving him back to the English in like a prisoner trade because we can always get him again. Apparently. I wonder what the record was for being captured. I don't know.
