Note 1 — DRAPER’S JOURNAL
Reading edition
Draper’s Journal should be compared throughout with Rojo’s. The Spanish figures for the English force are as follows: 13 warships, which the blind authorities believed to be a Chinese trading fleet (Malo de Luque’s Establecimientos ultramarinos, Madrid, 1790, v, p. 238); 1,500 European soldiers; two companies of artillerymen; 3,000 European seamen armed with muskets; 800 Sepoy musketeers, and 1,400 for work—a total of 6,830 men. See Montero y Vidal, ii, p. 13; and Rojo’s Journal, post. ↑
