Warlike quarrel with Spain and floods devastate the north
The piece rails at the Spanish King over Falkland Islands and peacetime tensions, notes ministers’ shaky response to Spain, and reports on a Calderon style war signal. A flood from Tees causes immense destruction at Barkard Castle and Gainsforth, with dozens missing or dead, while ships seize Boston bound cargo and a Covent Garden tragedy looms.
