Two vessels of war, the Paraguassu and the Nitherohy, being incomplete in their equipment, were of necessity left behind. The Nitherohy, Captain Taylor, joined on the 29th of April, and on the 1st of May we made the coast of Bahia.
The time given having expired without acceptance of the terms, it became necessary to make at least a shew of enforcing them, though the water was too shallow to admit vessels of large burden to approach with safety, and the small vessels were ill adapted to the purpose; still I determined to make a demonstration, and as a preparatory step ordered Captain Welsh, of the Paraguassu, to shift into the flagship all the English petty officers and seamen; but a heavy swell set in, and as the anchorage was bad, I considered the risk imprudent.
