Found here several English men-of-war the Jason, the Challenger, the Greyhound, &c., the Commanders of all of which called on us. Made arrangements for coaling and provisioning the ship, and for repairing damages; and in the afternoon ran up to Kingston, and thence proceeded to the mountains with Mr. Fyfe. Thursday, January 22nd.
