Mysterious French frigate sighted at the Nore
Friday morning a French frigate was found at the Nore. Signals from the Cam perdown guard-ship went unanswered. Growler ordered to speak, but the stranger raised sails and vanished. The incident prompts questions about inland armed visits by friendly nations. An explosion in Lambeth is noted with a clarification about aid funds. An inquest at St Bartholomew's on Joseph Perry reports accidental death after a pavement assault, with the two assailants unrevealed.
