I was at the storming of St. Pierre s and was the first company that entered the town but we did not permit the soldiers to plunder, which according to the laws of war might have been done, and would have been a fine harvest for them as it is reckoned the finest town in the West India Islands, one jewellers shop in it has been valued at a million sterling .... the town of St. Pierre itself is one of the most populous I was ever in, but we have thinned it very much by sending a great number of the most troublesome people prisoners on board ship from where they will be either sent to old France, or to the coast of Africa, and their goods confiscated".
