Description (What the record is about)
-
Folios 168-169: Srephen Thomas Digby, HMS Argo, Goree, Africa. He announces his safe arrival with that part of the convoy destined for the coast of Africa. The rest of the company having, with permission, parted company. He has met HMS Arab and has communicated to her captain, Captain Maxwell, the Admiralty's instuctions regarding his future movements. He believes, however, these will be difficult to execute. Captain Maxwell is very short of provisions but Captain Digby was not able to supply him with all he needs. He has supplied Captain Maxwell with the latest private meeting signals. Captain Maxwell was also short a lieutenant and so Captain Digby has transferred one of his lieutenants, Mr Francis Charles Annesley to HMS Arab. He hopes the Admiralty approves and confirms this appointment. He confirms him to be a diligent and effective officer. Captain Digby has been detained at this anchorage longer than he had intended because he had gone to the assistance of an American ship which had been struck by light but he intends to sail on the next day.
