Storms at Sea and Naval Notes Reach London
The Diligence under Captain Jenkins from Maryland met the Cambridge bound for New England off the Lizard. The Home, under Captain Dunkin from Maryland, arrived in the Downs after a storm eight leagues from Cape Virginia, losing her main mast and sustaining cargo damage. Other items report a royal treasury board at Walpole, aldermanic appointments, militia reviews, and various notices including a subscription opening for debts settlement at Winchester Street.
