ABSTRACT
These islands began to look like English settlements, and the face of affairs in this part of the world was entirely changed.
A conspiracy was discovered at Antigua among the Negroes, to murder all the Whites. Their plan was to have taken effect upon the 11th of October, the anniversary of the King's coronation. A ball was to have been given upon the occasion, but it was deferred upon account of the death of the general's son. This deranged the plan of the Negroes, who intended to have blown up the house with gunpowder, and the explosion was to have been the signal for a general massacre. The plot was discovered by the confession of one of the accomplices. King Court the leader, and Tomboy and Hercules, his generals, were broke on the wheel, and eleven others were burnt.
