to he ehac:d by a large 5411 I torn the eastward, carrying fore-
top mast studding 0:1113. At ten A. M. Majesty's Ship
AiISO, of 4o guns, the convoying Ship, then a-head of the
.F leer, tacked, stood towards the strange Sail, and made
signal' for an Enemy ; together with another, that the Con-
voy should keep within too yards at each other. At Meri-
dian, the Anson spoke an American, and learned that the
strange Sail (to which the private sipials had been made with-
out being answered) was the Gloriosa, a Spanish 84, well
manned and appointed. • The Anson then spoke the Wood-
land Castle,: Captain LLALWILLYN, appointed to carry a
Pendant, and ordeied her to rim down to the leeward, and
make as many signals as she could (which this did, with all
her colours, table cloths, and napkins), and to haul them
down as soon as answered from the Anson, and to repeat
them frequently : Which. mancenvre was to give the stranger
an idea of more Armed Ships being in the Fleet. This an.
twered cra npkreiy its intention, as the 84 gun ship thereupon
bawled her wind; The Anson then kept the whole Convoy
iindvr her lee, and for two entire days ottbred lolittls to the
