French 74-gun ships sunk and transports captured
Reports yesterday described a French 74-gun ship sunk by Majestic while a transport with 406 dismounted cavalry was captured. Another 74-gun ship arrived at Kinsale, details unclear. Peggy and Doog confirm French 74s near Waterford and Kinsale. Queen and Spitfire, with Majestic and Daedalus, cruised seeking Lord Bridport. Proceedings suggest continued pursuit of the French fleet amid uncertain official confirmation.
