The Whaling Sloop Gilbert and John, Capt. Jagger, belonging to the Company returned here last Monday from a 12 Months Voyage, but narrowly escaped being taken off Block Island by two Frigates: He is last from Guadaloupe, where he sold his Cargo of about 250 Barrels of Oyl, there took in Molasses, and has now on board 12,000 Gallons, and 30 Hogsheads in another Vessel that sailed in Company with him bound to the Eastward.
