• General Notes
  • The Hygea, belonging to Thomas Nazeby, Thomas
    Na/eby, jun., master, was driven out of the Downs in a
    gale of wind on to the French coast, and was captured.
    The Westmoreland, belonging to Matthew Wilson,
    Mr. Wheatley master, was taken, on her passage to.
    Archangel, by an American frigate, and burnt, together
    with a valuable cargo.
    The Nautilus, belonging to the Messrs. Marshall,
    Philip Dodds master, was taken on her passage to
    America, by an American privateer. It happened that
    Mr. Dodds and the captain of the privateer were both
    free masons. The American considered it his duty as
    a mason to give up his claim to the captured ship to his
    brother mason; and accordingly gave up the ship to
    Mr. Dodds, who then pursued his voyage to a successful
    termination.
