Notes on Ship


CaptureBG

(at the end of the letter reporting the capture of the Cheri)

On Thursday evening, the Eddistone bearing N. E. 12 leagues, I captured a little Privateer from Rosco, called the Emprunt Fosse ; had only 2 small carriage guns, 6 swivels, and 23 men on board: she had been out but 1 day, and had taken nothing.
