Vpon the 24. of August 1646. Some of the chiefe Commanders of the Garrison of the Island of Silly having before sent a Trumpetter to the Vice-admirall for a Treaty came aboord the Andrew where they laid open and presented their propositions for the surrendring of that Island Where after some consultation between the Vice-admirall and the rest of his Officers their earnest requests were admitted and immediatly began to debate upon the Articles and at last concluded that the Garrison and Island of Silly with all the Ordnance Armes and Ammunition should bee surrendred to Captain Batten Vice-admirall of the Parliaments Navie upon the 25. of August 1646.
