A.M. Loosed sails to dry. —Captain Thompson of the Boreas¹ having represented to me that her Main and Fore-Masts were sprung, I sent the Carpenter of the Prince of Wales to inspect them and he having reported to me that the Head of her Foremast was very much wrung, I ordered Captain Thompson to see the Trade bound to Grenada, Tobago, and S^t. Vincent's in safety to those Islands, and then make the best of his way to English Harbour, and, having got the Defects of the Foremast made good and the provisions completed, return to this place. 

The first and middle part, moderate and Cloudy weather, latter, fresh breezes and showers.

P.M. Sent by the Hillsborough Packet the Dispatches I received with the Secretary of the Admiralty's Letter of the 4^th. of May for the Governors of Grenada and S^t. Vincent.
