P. 1 6 " It was remarked upon as a curious circum- 

 stance, that while, before the revolution, lobsters or 

 large crawfish had never been seen in this vicinity ; yet 

 no sooner had that struggle commenced, than numbers 

 of them left the continent of North America and came 

 to New Scotland. This gave rise to a standing joke 

 among the people of this place, that the lobsters were 

 good royalists.'' Letters & Journals of Mrs. General 

 Riedesel. Translated by William L. Stone. Albany, 

 1867, p. 190.
