Description

Folios 326-327: Isaac Wolley, HMS Nonsuch. He tells that Captain James the Regulating Officer at Hull reported an incident on board the Greenland ship the Blenheim whose Master is William Henry Wilkinson. During the incident two men from HMS Nonsuch were murdered by the crew of the Blenheim. It now appears that The Blenheim is planning to sail with the next convoy to The Baltic despite the fact that the Master of that ship may be charged as an accessory or wanted as a witness in the event a prosecution is brought.
