Kingston boat storm plus tied river and Oran reinforcement
An 18th century column reports a fatal accident as Mr Parker is thrown onto the road by a wagon wheel, with his estate left to his wife as sole executrix. It notes a Kingston boat party landing at Mortlake, a pursuit to a police inquiry, shallow Thames and barge delays, and Algerian reinforcements to Oran. Reports from Boston and Charles Town discuss ship losses, Indian wars, and local weather, with memorials and royal appointments in London.
