Description

Folios 313-314: Isaac Wolley, HMS Nonsuch. Advising that he has received a report from the master of the Janus transport, which was left behind by the HMS Prince William after being damaged by a vessel that ran into her on 15 December 1799, saying that she will be repaired in five days' time. Wolley has also had a report from the commander of the Marshal Cobourg cutter, under Admiralty orders to proceed to the Nore, that she will be ready to sail about the same time. Says if their Lordships approve he will give orders for the Marshal Cobourg to take the Janus in convoy to Yarmouth Roads. And he has heard from Dr Hunter that the Russian convalescents at Hull, who were ordered to be taken to Yarmouth by the Prince William, were left behind because the Prince William had put to sea before the arrival of the order, so they could be taken in the Marshal Cobourg if that is suitable. If she cannot take them all he thinks the Terrier, hired vessel, which has been refitting at Hull since 29 October, will be ready to take the rest, if their Lordships approve.
