Nonsuch Returns with Rice Rally from Bengal Voyage
The Nonsuch under Captain Durrin arrives at Scilly after a three month voyage, bringing Bengal rice home for government needs. Passengers include Lt. Marchiett, Lt. Cariano, and Mr. Thomas with others. Briton ships like Britannia and Hercules also docked. Bengal plans 15,000 tons of shipping to move grain, with subscriptions in India and Dolabay government ships for similar relief. From Cape intelligence there are signs of harvest success, Colombo surrender, and no Molacca expedition news. The Nonsuch carries rice, with 20,000 more tons expected aboard future ships, likely lowering grain prices.
