{"value"=>"States that A. Loocock will undertake to construct floating rafts which, if they will not entirely stop the passage through Hog Island Channel will so retard the British fleet as to give an advantage to the troops in Charleston; six rafts will be sufficient, and the cost not over £20 or £30; requests Col. Laurens to lay the matter before the Council of Safety, and gives assurance that Loocock if employed will do his best to finish the work in time to be of use to the town."}
