Barlow criticises the captains who deserted Admiral Benbow. The KINGFISHER arrives at Kinsale, and sails from there to England in a large convoy.
Barlow describes how Admiral Benbow was deserted by some of the captains in his squadron during a battle in the West Indies, and describes these men in scathing terms. The KINGFISHER arrives at Kinsale and Barlow notes which ships they see there. Provisions in Ireland are cheap. The KINGFISHER sails back to England in a large convoy; in the Downs they see Sir Cloudsley Shovell in the TRIUMPH.
