Excerpt from An Account, Shewing the Progress of the Colony of Georgia in America, From It's First Establishment Rison was relieved with Provisions through the Metanges, a small Inlet about Four Leagues to the Southward of the Bar, which might have been prevented, had those of a difi'erent Command done their Duty.
