‘Sir, In addition to my letter of 
the 13th inftant, containing the 
particulars of the aétion of the 11th, 
and which I have not been able to 
fend away until this day, I have to 
acquaint you, for the information 
of the Lords Commiffioners of the 
Admiralty, that, from the wind 
continuing to blow on the Dutch 
coaft, the fhips have had great dif- . 
ficulty in keeping off the fhore, and 
that we have unavoidably been fe- 
parated. On Friday lait the wind 
blew ftrong from the weft-fouth- 
weft to weft-north-weft, and con- 
tinued fo to do untilSaturday morn- 
ing; it then fhifted to the north, 
when I made the fignal to wear, 
ftood to the weftward, and fortu- 
nately anchored here laft evening; 
the Venerable being fo leaky, that, 
with all her pumps going, we could 
but juft keep her free. This morn- 
* Monarch, Powerful, 
ing I obferved the fhips named in 
the margin* at anchor near us, 
three near the Kentifh Knock, and 
three in Hofley Bay. The wind is 
at north-weft, and much againft the ~ 
difabled fhips: I have therefore 
fent the Lancafter and Beaulieu out 
to render them affiftance. Sir 
Thomas Williams, inthe Endymion, 
who joined me the day after the 
action, I alfo fent in fhore, to keep . 
by and affift the difabled fhips; 
and I am informed that, in the 
courfe of the night, he fell in with - 
a Dutch fhip of the line off the 
Texel, and had engaged her; butI 
have not heard the particulars. 
Tam, Sir, 
your moft obedient 
humble Servant,
