Description

Folios 294-295: Isaac Wolley, HMS Nonsuch. Advising that he went on board the Russian ship, the Raphael, the previous evening and as the weather was moderate they forwarded some of the most seriously wounded Russian soldiers via the Nonsuch's boats. They were landed under the superintendance of Captain St Clair, who took great care of the operation. About 60 men were sent by the commander of the Raphael in a pilot boat during the night, and the remainder are now en route in the boats of the Nonsuch and the Martin, and boats belonging to the Rendezvous at Hull. He estimates they should all be dealt with in about two hours time and expresses his gratitude for the assistance of Captain St Clair.
