Leone 28th Maecii, When she left Sierra Leone,- 19
Spanish vessels were lying waiting adjudication, that
had been detained by the squadron un.;er the new treaty,

it into effect. The Trinculo had beea in commission

been actually under canvas 914 days, and ;In by :Ig,
82,903 miles. She has never lost a man by Acciden:,
and only three deaths have occurred on board, and those irr
the early part of her time, all from fever, but t),-o of
which were men from merchantmen, who having been left
on shore, caught the fever, and died soon after coming oa
board. Tip principal part of her service has been on the-
East and West Coast of Africa, and perhaps her crew have
seen as much, in boats and otherwise, as any vessel in com-
mission. The squadron arc disposed of as follow
Thailit, Leveret, and Pelican, at the Cape ; Rolla, in the
Gambia ; Curlew. Forester, Griffon and Buzzard, at Sierra
Leone ; Britoma4, and Fair Rosamornl in the Bights ;
and the Water Witch, at. Prince's Island ; this vessel had
displayed her superiority in sailing in a most extraordinary
degree in
.chasmg a slave vessel in company with the
Thalia ; and had captured another which had near)" ready,
at Whv-411, a cargo of 303 slaves, but' as chased cc the
coast by the Britomart. The Trinculo is ordered to
