Description

Folios 250-251: Thomas Browne, HMS Ulysses, Sierra Leone. Advises that after leaving the transports at Senegal and Goree with HMS Porcupine, he brought the convict ships with the Regalia to Sierra Leone, putting all the Officers of the West India regiments and the African Corps, on board, who had embarked in England, together with ammunition and stores. As the convict ships were chartered to sail without convoy after a certain latitude he completed their stores and provisions. As the Guard of the Frances and the Eliza had mutinied, he sent them provisions under an Officer and fresh Guard and ordered them to put to sea on 5 March for New South Wales. He plans to sail to Cape Coast and meet HMS Brisk there or at St. Thomas' and send her to England with the convoy. On his passage down he captured a schooner with Spanish colours going to the Gambia for slaves but was unable to capture 2 other ships because of the convoy. Off Senegal he got a bower anchor formerly from HMS Solebay and a small anchor from HMS Myrmidon. Encloses a report on the state and condition of the ship

Folio 251: enclosed with folios 250-251. Weekly return, 3 to 10 March 1815, of the sick and wounded on HMS Ulysses from Alexander MacGlasham, Surgeon. William Simpkins noted as Assistant Surgeon.
