v5:1164

The sloop Charming Sally was cleared out from Dommica to Newfoundland, as I saw the clearance of her on board the sloop General Gage; to which I could be qualified if called upon.

The above is a low estimate of things belonging to me on board the sloop Joseph, Captain Radden, when taken by the sloop General Gage, on the 14th of February, 1776.

JAMES MCKNIGHT.
