In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

Sir Cloudesley Shovell, Vice Admiral of the Red, has informed us that the Masts of the ARUNDEL at the Nore are too taut, by reason of which she is crank.
We direct you to cause the Masts to be viewed, and taken shorter in case it appears that they are as alleged.
