The Greenwich, Cadiz. |
Capt. Robert Robinson to the Navy Commissioners. From
Alicante I rendered you an account of our proceedings. We stayed
there two or three days and as long at Gibraltar, being forced
in by contrary winds. We called in at Tangier and visited the
mole and [I] am glad to see it make so fast progress. There were
tallowed the Roebuck and the Deptford ketch and I could wish
they might do the same to two or three of Sir Edward Spragg's
fifth-rates, which would be noised with as much fame in those
parts and Italy as if the mole was much greater. Off Cape Spartel
twelve of our fleet, considerable ships both for lading and strength,
left us, the convoy so graciously provided for their security,
without acquainting myself or Capt. Wylde, for, had they made
any public application, we would have advised what would be
most secure for them and with his Royal Highness' leave off the
Rock would have myself or Capt. Wylde to convoy them and
the other would have gone into Lisbon. I as yet know not what
to do but shall advise with Capt. Wylde about it. I beg your
pardon for not sending you a particular account concerning provisions, expenses, etc., but I have been for some time indisposed,
but shall render a perfect account at my arrival in England.
Yesterday with about ten or twelve sail I arrived here and intend
to sail to-night and hope to be in England as soon as those that
left us and trusted to their own selves. [Ibid. No. 301.] |

John Gould and William Nutt to the Navy Commissioners.
You may remember that last November we sold you a ship's
lading of Königsbörg rine hemp to be delivered at Portsmouth,
belonging to merchants at York, who, having 10 or 15 tons of
the same sort remaining and understanding you have of late
given a better price, desire that for the said small parcel they may
partake of the higher price as well as they have delivered at the
lower, it being here ready for delivery. [Ibid. No. 303.] |
