Ship Bilge Water and War News in 1703 Dispatches
A 1703 pamphlet fragment discusses Garifon forces, a bloody fight with no French casualties, and praise for British resilience. It criticizes provisioning for New England fleets, notes bilge water stench and its deadly effects, and references Fuller’s sentence and political tensions with Jacobites and Tories. It ends with advertisements for pamphlets and a medical treatise.
