Privateer chase and ship retake near Cape Nicholas 1743
An extract from a letter aboard the Wilmington dated Cape Nicholas 1743 describes sightings of a privateer from Saint Domingo, a small sloop at anchor believed captured by Spaniards, the killing of four English, and the retaking of Captain Evans by Captain Dowell. The narrator pursues a Saint Domingo privateer, nearly captures a sharper, and anchors at Sambay to repair, then chases a warship near Ath before capturing a sloop from Maracaibo laden with cocoa.
