“ As w e think it of-great confêquence that you u fé a ll '

fo as to leave Suez as early as the feafon will permit, i f the '
Cuddalore* has been able to join you after the frnvey you

if, on the contrary, ihe has not joined you, and that the
Suez pacquet.is likewife gone with the difpatches, you muft
then procure good pilots, and, i f poffible, affmall veffel for
fear o f accidents, and g o down the ufual draft o f the Suez
veffels ; making particular remarks on thatpaffage, proceed
