Evidence: | 'Up, and got my wife to read to me a copy of what the Surveyor offered to the Duke of York on Friday, he himself putting it into my hand to read; but Lord, it is a poor silly thing ever to think to bring it in practice in the King's Navy; it is to have the Captain's to endent for all stores and victuals; but upon so silly grounds to my thinking, and ignorance of the present instructions of Officers, that I am ashamed to hear it.' |
