Note 2 — THE REVENGE. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Samuel Pemberton, merchant of Boston, son of Rev. Ebenezer Pemberton of the Old South Church, was deputy judge of the admiralty court in Rhode Island for a brief period in 1741 and 1742. In the archives of Rhode Island, in a volume lettered "Admiralty Papers, 1726-1745", there is a libel of James Allen, captain of the sloop Revenge, privateer, against the Spanish sloop St. Joseph, captured Mar. 1, 1743, on the north side of Cuba. But that was another incident; the St. Joseph de las Animas was a schooner.
