Adventure of [[Buffalora]]

almost seems ruled by Extortion, Violence
& Injustice - thus termin^ated an
Affair w'ch [which] would make Noise eno' [enough] in
this part of the Country, & serve as
a Precedent to in like Cases for the time
to come, where the People, especially

fail on all Occasions to remind
those Vultures of Right & Justice
of the Chastisement - they had met
with from ~~two~~ a Couple of
Englishmen, whose Spirit, they told
us, they could not but admire, as
much as they rejoic'd [rejoiced] in our Success,
& exulted in an opportunity to curb
the Insolence of those prey seeking underlings
of the Dogana -
