Admiral Vernon praised amid Jamaica Fleet rumors and local notices
The piece notes Admirable Vernon and his West Indies conduct along with a curious anecdote of an A la Mode Captain off Port Royal feigning sickness to leave his ship, while other items record marriages, deaths, naval intelligence, court notices, a Dutch exchange, and stock prices from Reading Berkshire with various ships, privateers, and a Coventry-like market snapshot.
