This Journal seems in many respects to be similar to that published by the New York Mercury 31. Dec 1759. There are however many additional facts of importance which are not included in the Mercury, for example page 9;

"The same day we went to get our plunder, which we discovered on our March round the Island, consisting of Gowns, Shirts, petticoats, Stockings, Coats and Waiscoats, Breeches, Shoes, and many other articles too tedious to mention, and some Cash; which, if the Things had been sold to the value, would [have] fetch'ed upwards of 500 1. Ster."

The Journal runs from June 1st. to Sep. 19 1759.
