Description (What the record is about)
-
Folios 294-295: Robert Dudley Oliver, HMS Hazard, Campbeltown. Reports his arrival from Stornoway with HMS Tartar on his way to Cork. He sent Lieutenant William Buckley Hunt, the Master Mr Stapleton and 22 men ashore to try to press more men for the Navy, having previous written to the Provost, Mr Porter, to ask for his assistance. Unfortunately Mr Porter was absent, and when he made the same request of Hugh Macallum, one of the Baillies, he disarmed the Master and many of the seamen and put them in jail, refusing to release them until Commander Oliver sent ashore four men he had already taken out to the ship. Encloses [not present] an affidavit concerning this affair and the state and condition of his ship, also encloses the state and condition of HMS Tartar, which because of bad weather when returning from Stornoway is now leaking.
Folioi 296: enclosed with folios 294-295: William Fricker, HM Hired Armed Cutter Tartar, Campbeltown, 6 February 1795. The state and condition of his ship.
