Seamen briskly pursue convoy and noble notices abroad
Letters from Weymouth report Royal George and Marlborough with an hospital ship and stores fast in Portland Roads. Ships appointed to convoy the Portugal fleet receive orders for action in ten days. Many mercantile deaths and marriages fill the page. Major Langley dies after wartime wounds. Hezekiah King and others perish. News on privateers, plagues, and permissions fill market reports and naval reach.
