the Salt Lagoon Station safely on board of Ship last Even^g
except 1 Wether Sheep, &1 Black Sow, both of which got
away from the Sailors that were taking them to the Beach

and the Merino Ram Lamb, which we have not been able
to find, but Ch^s Powell is to remain at the Station, and
therefore will probably secure them again  ______
