Captain Littlejohn, Commander of the BONADVENTURE, has advised us from the Downes that since coming in there they perceive her rudder is fetching a great deal of way and a survey by the Carpenter has judged it not fit for service. The ship having been lately fitted out at Plymouth for a voyage to the West Indies, you are directed to make enquiry as to how this has happened and to give us an account of how you propose her repaired.
