Lurcher arrives with Brest loss as squadron captures prizes
Plymouth reports the Lurcher cutter returning from Brest with the loss of her stern head, alongside the Danish bark Tordenskiold. Duckworth’s squadron seized two doggers, a schooner, and a Danish ship carrying 16 French aboard, while reports say 19 sail of the line lie at Brest ready, yet sailors are scarce. Several ships arrived or sailed, including Lord Mulgrave and Suffisante, with attempts by the Lisbon fleet to reach the Downs thwarted by westerly winds. Some vessels returned to port, likely steering back to this harbor.
