Synopsis
Schooner: Gaspee. Captain: Peleg Greene. Destination: Edenton, North Carolina, and Savanna la Mar, Jamaica. In Edenton, Greene should deliver the cargo to Captain Joseph Reply, merchant on board, who had instructions on how to invest the effects of the goods on board. It is required that Greene go in the schooner "from one part of the country to the other". When Captain Reply has collected a suitable cargo, he will deliver it to Greene, addressed to Captain Benjamin Wright at Savanna la Mar, where Greene should proceed. When Greene has arrived there, he will find Wright with Lopez's instructions on what to do with the schooner. It is probable that will dispose of the schooner and, in this case, Greene may embrace the first opportunity of returning home, unless there is another Lopez's vessel there. If so, Greene should return on board this vessel and put into her the value of two hogsheads.
