On the left is a military officer (Bowen) sheathing a sword in a broken sheath; Mrs. Bowen stands behind him. From General Gunning's pocket protrude papers: 'aff. by Mr B' and 'Am by Mr B.' He says "Now I shall save a 1000 a year in Housekeeping & keep as many - [whores] as I like." Miss Gunning says "Oh thus to be persecuted & rob'd of - all for Lorn." Mrs. Gunning says "Oh! my Darling my Angel fear not the machinations of these Combind plotters while you have a Mothers arms to support you". She points towards a woman's face at a window (? or in a picture) over which is etched: 'Here my Inosent shall you find a parants Care to soothe your troubles & every honest means pursued to discover those base dark assas[sins]'. Bowen says "Oh how they did run we have done the Business". His wife says "Aye Aye Clear off did not I do my part well.""--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Naval mutineers, seated and standing at a long table, glare ferociously at Admiral Buckner, who stands (left) calmly, hat in hand, in profile to the right at the foot of the table. The man at the head of the table, seated in a chair which is higher than the others, holds a blunderbuss and wears a hat. He must be Richard Parker, but does not resemble him. At his elbow and on the extreme right stands Thelwall filling a glass from a 'Grog' can; he says "Tell him we intend to be Masters, I'll read him a Lecture"; from his pocket hangs a paper: 'Thellwals Lecture' (see British Museum Satires No. 8685). One man only is seated on the president's left and on the near side of the table. He places a fist on a long paper headed 'Resolutions'. Under the table in the foreground, lifting up the tablecloth, five secret instigators are (left to right): Lauderdale, holding a paper: 'Letter from Sheerness to Ld L------le'; Horne Tooke, Stanhope, Grey, Fox, the most prominent, saying, "Aye, Aye, we are at the bottom of it", and Sheridan. All have satisfied smiles. Four ruffians are seated at the farther side of the table, others stand behind them; one aims a pistol over the admiral's head, one man smokes, another chews tobacco, taking a quid from his box. Weapons lie on the table. On the wall behind them are a print of Britannia head downwards, and two torn ballads: 'True Blue an old Song' and 'Hearts of Oak are our Ships Jolly Tars are our men We alway are Ready', the last word scored through. On the right the slanting window of the captain's cabin is indicated."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "In the foreground (left) is the quarter-deck of a small vessel, on which six French soldiers with ferocious gestures are taking down the British flag; a hump-backed soldier has climbed the flagstaff, and crouches with drawn sword, saying, "oh by Gar I was on de Pinnicle of my Glory". Through his ragged breeches issues the word 'Commandant'. In the lower left corner of the design is the head of an English sailor, saying, "that sweet little Cherub that sits up aloft (cf. BMSat 7677) he will shortly come wap on his Back". Two men bite the flag. Another, very emaciated, says, "aha Monr Angloise we was Men Enough (40.000) to take de whole fleet". Two other soldiers peer over the edge of the vessel. The ship is in harbour, behind her is another (English) vessel whose flag is being removed and sails furled. A British sailor stands in a boat on the extreme right, shouting, "avast Bougres well teach you to take 2 Merchant ships for a fleet of Men of War again". On the horizon are buildings inscribed 'Nantes'. Across the sky is etched 'Rehearsal'."

The eight passengers are in various stages of distress and sea-sickness, except for a naval officer with a wooden leg who holds his wife's forehead and pours the contents of a bottle on her head; a sailor boy proffers a bucket to this couple. A man's hat and wig blow overboard, as does a young woman's large hat."--British Museum online catalogue
