21 numbered pages of ms., with 3pp pencil battle plans; one leaf loose. Contemp. limp vellum; a little soiled. Inscribed in pencil on leading pastedown: 'From Mrs Spearman(?) the descendant of Captn. Cumby who wrote out this book.' A fascinating document recording, from the perspective of the mutineers, the events of the Nore Mutiny which took place in May and June 1797 following the Spithead Mutiny of April and May. Following the peaceful mutiny in Spithead, a successful industrial action which led to improved pay and conditions for the sailors, the Nore Mutiny had more menacing political connotations with government concerns that it might be part of a wider radical revolutionary movement in favour of the principles of the French Revolution. The mutineers' demands were similarly for better pay and conditions, but expanded later to a demand for the dissolution of parliament and cessation of hostilities with France. Ultimately, with a government fearful of the radical movement and unwilling to concede any further ground following Spithead, the mutiny failed. In the reprisals that followed 29 men were hanged (including Richard Parker, the President of the Delegates of the Fleet), 29 were imprisoned and nine were flogged. This document provides an exceptionally rare first-hand account of the Mutiny, compiled as copy-documents by William Price Cumby, 1771-1837, a highly respected officer in the British Navy remembered for his service on board H.M.S. Bellerophon during the Battle of Trafalgar in which he assumed control following the death of the captain John Cooke. His attitude to the mutiny is clear from the manuscript title, calling it a 'disgraceful affair'. His recording of the events include a 'copy of the log kept by the mutineers on board the Comet Fireship' dating from June 1st - June 13t3; a list of 'Orders', 'Articles' and 'Rules to be Observed' by the 'Committee of H.M.S. Comet' established by the mutineers, and 13 pages of correspondence between the mutineers and the authorities. The orders, numbered 1st to 5th, begin: 'to be enacted by H.M. ships laying at the Nore - Given on board H.M.S. Sandwich - Great Nov. 11th May 1797. 1st. We recommend the strictest unanimity as the only means of accomplishing the great object we have in view. 2d. A redress of grievances being our sole object, the discipline must be observed & on no pretence whatever liquor to be admitted on board, but all improprieties to be severely punished.' The articles address the demands of the mutineers: '1st. That every indulgence granted at the fleet of Portsmouth (as Spithead) to be granted to H.M. subjects serving in the fleet at the Nore.' 2d. That every man on a ship coming into harbour shall have liberty a certain number a t time, so as not to injure the ship's duty, to go and see there [sic] friends and families, a convenient time to be allowed each man.' The rules to be observed highlight, in the case of the Comet at least, the strict demands for respect and good behaviour of the mutineers, both towards their commanding officers and those on the committees deputed to represent their demands. The correspondence, outlining the sailors demands, and the response from the authorities. It ends with a communique from the Commander in Chief Charles Buckner: 'In pursuance of directions from the Right Honble. the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, you are hereby required & directed to communicate to the crew of H.M.S. Montagu in answer to their proposal delivered by you to their Lordships, that no pardon can be given to the crew of any ship or ships or any part of the said crews that may have been declared in a state of mutiny & rebellion, but on a return to their duty.' The strong stance of the government and the gradual withdrawal of ships from the mutiny meant that it ended unsuccessfully and with no improvement in the pay and working conditions of thousands of British sailors. The pencil battle plans, presumably by Cumby, are undated but represent a battle between the French and English with the ships on both sides listed, the French having 19 and the English 15, including Cumby's own ship the Bellerophon.
