A new ship of the same name, mould, &c. , was soon after ordered by the minister of marine to be built with the greatest dispatch possible. And I have since been inform ed by credible persons, that in seven weeks counting from the time the keel was laid, she was ready to sail with the fleet, having all her guns, provisions, &c. , on board. And what induced me to believe this was a fact is, that it has since been mentioned upon the floor of the house of commons in England, by one of the members ...of par liament, in order probably to shew how much greater exertions in *Couronne. [En. ] TANNING S NARRATIVE 123 such business the French were capable of than the English, who boast so much of their expedition in building, fitting out, and com manding their navy.
On the 7th of April, our privateer being refitted and ready for another cruise, we put to sea, and shaped our course for the coast of Ireland, where we arrived on the 10th following; and on the 12th we took two prizes. We cruised off or in sight of the highlands of Dungarvan till the 30th, without capturing any other vessels, the wind during that time being to the westward; but on this day at the setting of the sun the wind shifted to the eastward, which we considered as a favourable omen, as this wind was fair to waft some rich English ships from Bristol or Liverpool, along the Irish coasts.
