The Carpenters of the Fleet that could be spared were at work at the Light House; the Caulkers on the Falcon. The Hinchinbrook from Halifax brought some Stores for the Squadron; And the Admiral received a Letter from Commodore Le Cras acquainting him with the Steps taken to secure the Cannon, Mortars and other Stores, which at first it was agreed between him and Colonel [Joseph] Goreham should be by putting the whole into the Navy Yard; but that Captain Spry of the Engineers had just informed him the Mortars only were to go into the Navy Yard. Commodore Le Cras transmitted an Account of the Cannon and Mortars there, but observes they are without Carriages: he also acquaints the Admiral with his having seized a Brig with Salt for having prohibited Goods concealed on Board.
