He immediately asked an explanation of the ropes, blocks, masts, and yards, and all the machinery of the ship. He sent for the Boatswain, to question him; that officer always fitting out the French ships. lie requested the marines to pass in review before him, examining the arms, evolutions, dress, &c. &c, and expressed himself highly pleased.
