 fick, the beft provifions of their table. 



Fruits are given to us from various eftates, 

 not only by gallons and bufhels, but by cart- 

 loads and boat-loads, at a time ; and, by thefe 

 generous aids, we have been able to improve 

 the comforts of the fick, beyond all that money 

 could have obtained. 



Until the 28th of April we continued to 

 have a fick-ward on board the Grenada ; but 

 we have now, to the great joy of Captain Ri- 

 chardfon, taken the whole of the men on

 moreover, a very refpe£table man, and of more 

 improved manners than many of his colleague? . 

 He is not only captain of the fhip, but has 

 alfo a (hare as owner. Ke frankly tells us 

 how much he is rejoiced to have done with 

 us, and affures us that his fhip fhali never, 

 again, while he commands her, be incom- 

 moded with fuch a troublefome crowd* I
