July 23d, Off Fraserburgh, to which we sent letters by a fishing boat. Tacked and stood in for Peterhead, the most eastern part of Scotland, and famous for its medicinal waters; it is situated about thirty miles north of Aberdeen. 25th, Fell in with a cutter off Saint Abb’s Head, which we at first took for a French privateer: to our satisfaction, however, she proved to be the Try-All of London, a privateer of 14 guns, and 70 or 80 men. 26th, Came in sight of Whitby. It blowing very hard, we could not anchor in the roads. Sailed farther to the south; then tacked and hoisted a flag for a pilot. In the evening a pilot came off in his cobble; but it blew so remarkably hard, that he could not get any person to come along with him but an intrepid _lame tailor_. They came on board, but being heavy laden, and the tides low, we could not get into Whitby. We therefore determined to run for Hull; but, calling at Scarborough, we got a brig to come to Whitby roads in order to lighten us. July 27th, Fourteen of our men being afraid of the press, took two boats, and ran into Robbin Hood’s Bay. Anchored this evening in Whitby Roads. 28th and 29th, The brig lightened us about 100 tons, and the evening of the latter day we got withinside the bridge, and were mustered by the custom-house officers, as is usual on those occasions. 31st, Paid off. * * * * * In concluding the account of this voyage, it would be unpardonable in me to neglect mentioning the kindness and attention with which I was always treated by Captain Scoresby, and his son the mate. Captain Scoresby is well known to the world at large, for his vigorous, enterprizing character, as well as for consummate skill in nautical matters. As Captain of the ship, his conduct was most exemplary. He was attentive to all the duties of religion, and preserved a proper decorum, and strict discipline, without harshness, among the crew.
