Curious Letters from Jamaica and a Desperate Siege
Extracts of two letters recount Captain Hodshon's voyage to Jamaica with Governor Trelawney, plundering a Spanish project near Panama, taking prisoners, and a 1730s Cape Gratia de Dios expedition. Also included is a Polish officer’s account of a bold night assault on Glogow, with Leopold and Margrave Charles leading attacks, ramparts breached, and heavy fighting ending after midnight.
