Severe gale drives ship to Plymouth after anchor loss
An account from the coast of France describes the Jndefutigeble riding out a brutal southwest gale after parting from anchors and cables. The Marlborough, caught on rocks near Belle Ile, was lightened by throwing rails overboard but was driven to a cave where masts were cut away and the ship rode out the storm until the next day. Crews later rescued and towed away the entire ship’s company. The Foudroyant reports soldiers hungry and lacking fresh provisions after months at sea. Lord Nelson left funds with Yarmouth mayor for local distribution. Other notices cite troop movements from Plymouth to the Mediterranean and local property rents in Bellevue.
