Note note 1 — THE REVENGE. (continued 2)

[1] Massachusetts Historical Society. This, it will be seen, was Freebody and Norton's copy of the agreement. With the aid of documents found elsewhere, the history of the Success can be pieced out. Among the records of the vice-admiralty court at Boston there is a thin book of "Accounts of Sales", which begins with accounts of sales of the Success and her cargo, July 22-Oct. 7, 1743, from which it appears that she was a British vessel, recaptured from the enemy by the privateer bilander Young Eagle, John Rous commander, the same privateer that brought in the Amsterdam Post, with its former lieutenant now commander (doc. no. 128, note 9). Then, in the Rhode Island archives, "Admiralty Papers, 1726-1745", pp. 63-82, we have the libel and other papers in the case of James Allen of the Revenge and Peter Marshall of the Success against the Willem galley (see doc. no. 161), which shows one of the successes of this joint cruise to have been that, on Mar. 16, 1745, in the Old Bahama Straits, the two associates took the ship Willem, sailing under Spanish colors and under the command of Cosme Zeggrayne (Zegarain), but which originally was a Dutch ship, commanded by Pieter Couwenhoven.
