Military movements and fleet actions near Scarborough and the Humber
A fragmented report describes Major General Lambert advancing with four regiments toward Lieut. Gen. Crumswell while forces from Hull move to Scarborough to strengthen the siege. Sir Philip Mausgrave attempts to raise the siege but withdraws with his 500 men. Royal forces pursue revolted ships off the coast, weighing anchor near the Buoy of the Ore-Edge, with councils of war debating strategy and the fate of the Portsmouth fleet amid high seas and uncertain winds.
