A volatile digest of maritime news from May 1777 reports an English garrison repelling a Spanish guarda costa boarding near Cadiz and recovering specie, British sailors praised for bold action, and a stout defense against foreign plunder with heavy goods left secure in Algeziras. Additional letters from Ireland and Grenada note piracy, civilian trials, and privateering outcomes in the Caribbean.
