The French fleet captures several West Indies merchant ships and two frigates. The English fleet under Sir Clousley [Cloudsley] Shovell tries to find the French fleet in the main ocean, but without success.
The ADVENTURE sights the French fleet of about eighty ships, but it proves to be difficult to find. Several merchant ships bound for the West Indies, as well as two frigates convoying them, have been captured by the French. Sir Clousley [Cloudsley] Shovell looks for the French fleet within Ushant. Barlow gives details of the manouevring between the two fleets in the main ocean, with the French ships evading the English ships.
