Lord Duncan Recovered and Naval Movements Amid War News
Lord Duncan is perfectly recovered after his late illness and bore the operation of being cut for the Fiffula with Camperdown firmness. Reinforcements for Sir Richard Strachan will block the River Caen entrance and Havre, while Admiral Kinesmitt orders Penguin to Limerick to convoy trade to the English Channel.
