Transcriber's note:

Obvious printer's errors have been corrected; all other
inconsistencies are as in the original. The author's spelling
has been maintained.

Text enclosed by equal signs was in bold face (=bold=).

Text enclosed by asterisks was in an old font (*old font*).

Page 122: "After the treasure ship _Hermione_ had thus been
secured off Cadiz by the _Actaean_ and the _Favorite_" should
probably be "After the treasure ship _Hermione_ had thus been
secured off Cadiz by the _Active_ and the _Favorite_".
