Arrived the Carcass tender from London, bound to Corke, to take on board recruits, also the Tartar man of war from Boston, having on board 75 of the American rebels, who were taken in a privateer belonging to Boston [sic Plymouth]...
Sailed... the Sphinx sloop of war, Capt. Hunter, and the Harriot, Lusby, for Jamaica, with all the outward-bound ships; also sailed Sir Peter Parker's fleet. Wind at N.E. blows hard.
