His Majesty's Ship Centurion of 50 Guns, Captain [Richard] Brathwaite, now arrived from England with a War Complement of 350 Men. And the Nautilus went on a Cruize. Rear Admiral Shuldham wrote to the Admiral to desire Lieutt [Henry] Mowat (whose Ship, the Canceaux, had by a Survey been reported unserviceable) might be left in America, as being well acquainted with the Coast, But, as the Lieutenant was very desirous of returning to England, having many years Accounts to settle, and the detaining him longer in America would be much to his own Prejudice; and his knowledge of the Coast extended only from Boston Harbour Eastward to the River St Lawrence, and Mr Graves knew full well that the Operations of his Majs Forces must be far to the Southward to be of Real Service: He acquainted the Rear Admiral therewith, and continued his Orders for the Canceaux to sail for England in Company with the Preston.
