- W2482227581 abstract "Scrawled at a forty-five degree angle on the lower left corner of an unnumbered page in the transcript of Hepburn Graham’s 1806 court martial is a note reading “17 Dec. Warrant to be prepared for his execution on board the St. George at Portsmouth on Saturday next.”1 If all went according to standard procedure, elaborate preparations were made for Graham’s hanging. On the appointed day the crew of HMS St. George was mustered at quarters, the death signal, a yellow flag, was raised to the masthead, and boats from every vessel in the squadron came alongside the ship to witness the day’s odious business. On nearby ships all men were called up to listen as their captains read aloud the Articles of War laying out the crime for which Graham was to die. He stood convicted of violating the twenty-ninth article: “If any person in the fleet shall commit the unnatural and detestable sin of buggery and sodomy with man or beast, he shall be punished with death by the sentence of a court martial.” Shortly before 11:00 a.m., a pair of the St. George’s sailors, probably two of the most troublesome members of the crew, went aloft to reeve the hanging rope through a block at the fore yardarm. It had a knot twelve or fifteen feet above the condemned man’s head so that when crewmembers at the waist of the ship ran with it, it would be quick-stopped at the block, speeding his end with a sharp jerk." @default.
