HMS Tromp is at single anchor and HMS Europa is unmooring and as soon as the wind is right he will execute their orders. He applied to Admiral Sir Peter Parker yesterday for men to make up the complement of HMS Tromp but he could only get twelve, if she stays for another day waiting for the wind, he request her Complement be completed.
