Ships sail for Newfoundland and Atlantic cruises rise
The bulletin records vessels from St Malo and Plymouth preparing to fish off Newfoundland once passports are exchanged. The Princess Royal Privateer sails for Guernsey, the Panther Man of War and Sheerness Man of War join convoys, and several Bristol ships head toward Africa. Royal news notes Admiral Watson’s Newfoundland governorship, Hastings joins Hastings voyage, and various ships are captured or ransom’d. Obituaries and local incidents follow, including a violent Irish assault, races with decorous punishments, a coach accident, and multiple notable deaths.
