Shifting Wind Battles Then Stage Listings and Auctions
Fragmentary report mixes sea action with theater notices and property auctions. Sailors claim a night chase with guns and scarce powder while seven killed and several wounded are later noted. The page then lists plays at Drury Lane Covent Garden and Goodman's Fields with weather and stock quotes, followed by property lettings and sale notices for multiple tenements in London and Southwark auctions by John Bell and others.
