Note 116 — Chapter IV · MARTINEZ’S OPERATIONS AT NOOTKA BEFORE COLNETT’S ARRIVAL.
Reading edition
Martinez’s certificate of 96 skins being shipped on board the Columbia, Nootka, July 14, 1789. (Appendix to Meares, Voyages.) The English ship to which the furs, taken from the schooner, were at first transferred had been seized in the meantime, so that the furs again fell into Martinez’s hand. This was the Princess Royal, to be discussed presently.
