In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board
Sir Cloudesley Shovell, Commander-in-Chief in the Irish Sea, advising us that the SMIRNA MERCHANT is very foul and is not fit to be sent on convoy, but that she may be cleaned at little charge at Hoylake. You are directed to have the owners do this or have it done and the charge deducted from the hire of the ship. Captain Andrew Cotton has applied to have the "Run" put on 15 men removed as they are now with him in the PLAY prize and ask for their wages in the CHARLOTTE yacht. You are directed to inquire into the matter and to give your opinion on what is fitting to be done.
