6/19 Thirty-eight days out, and in all that time but two vessels spoken and one solitary prize! _Thursday, October 24th_ .-- Cloudy, with the wind from the eastward. At half-past six in the morning descried a sail in the north east. At nine came up with a brig, which proved to be a Frenchman, La Mouche Noire, from Nantes to Martinique. |
