Abe Victory on the Jamaica Run and Spanish Prize Capture
Reports detail Capt. Coals of Bristol and crew in harsh seas fending off a 60-gun Spanish warship after seizing two prizes. They defended the Snow and escaped to Port Royal with the prizes, while 12 remained as captors and later escaped by night to Jamaica. The narrative covers further privateering, dock repairs, and naval movements across the Atlantic with multiple ships and crews involved.
