Ertroct cf LeTer JrOm Cadiz, IhrR !.
To avoid danger of capture in making this
port, all vessels bound here ought TO make
Cape Sparta, and keep as clear of the coast
from Rota to San Lucar as possible. Most
of those captured have mistaken the latter
place for Cadiz, and have been taken close in
with the land. The danger would be small
