The Prize.
Many a young man went to sea to seek his fortune and adventure, and at the time of war he would find both. The adventure was a battle between ships and riches would come from the capturing of the enemies ship, the “Prize.” The prize ( ship ) would be taken to port and sold and the money was divided among the crew. The amount one received would depend on how much the prize and it’s cargo sold for, and where one stood in the ranks, the higher you were in the ranks the more prize money one would get. Prize money was a reward to the crew for valor, danger and victory.
The prize laws are hard to understand some times they worked in your favor other times it worked against you. My general understanding of the prize law is that you had to be on the ship at the time of the capture of the prize. Even though you may have been on the ships roll and for some unfortunate reason you found yourself on land at the time of the capturing of the prize you got nothing. Then there were the ones that were on board at the time of the capture but for some oversight was never paid, for them they would have to put in a petition to Naval Affairs, and even though it was found in your favor, it may take years to get paid. Even though you were entitled to prize money there was a time limit on how long you could claim your prize money. There was this one case were this one person waited twenty-five years before claiming his prize money, of course the time limit was long over, and he got nothing.
Note. The following information is on the prize, there is no order to the information, it’s put down as the information is found.

After the battle the wound of both sides were taken to the hospital. Roberts asked for his part of the prize money, but as he was on shore and not on board a ship at the time of the battle, he wasn’t entitled to any prize money.
