After being towed back to port, a Captain's Board was to review the case. However due to wartime requirements and shortages it was postponed . The Vice Admiral sent word down to reassign me to the HMS Leah as Temp. acting Capt. The othet Capt had come down with the Gout and can not stan on the quarter deck. The Leah is a small 40 gun 5th rate. Mostly 6pdr long cannons. Her punch comes from the Ten 24 pdr Canon nades when she shows her teeth.
