Inscription
In memory of doctor Herbert Mann, who, with 119 sailors, with capt. James Magee Master, went on board the brig, General Arnold, in Boston harbour, 25 December 1778, hoisted sail, made for sea, and were immediately overtaken by the most tremendous snow storm with cold that was ever known in the memory of man, and, unhappily, parted their cable in Plymouth harbour, in a place called the Cow Yard. and he with about 100 others was frozen to death, 66 of whom were buried in one grave. He was in the 21 year of his age.
And now, Lord God Almighty, just and true are all thy ways, but who can stand before thy cold?
