Anonymous, An Account of the signal Escape of John Fraser
“ They levell'd their Guns; they fired among them! Mr. Fraser fell with the rest and did not doubt but he was shot. But as those Gentlemen, who proceeded thus deliberately in cool Blood, had their Orders to do nothing by Halves, a Party of them went along and examined the Slaughter, and knocked out the Brains of such as were not quite dead; and observing Signs of Life in Mr. Fraser, one of them with the Butt of his Gun, struck him on the Face, dashed out one of his Eyes, and beat down his Nose, flat and shattered, to his Cheek, and left him for dead. ”
