| Description | Reporting that "by some unaccountable mistake" Major Missett appeared to have passed 'HMS Canopus' on the previous evening in a barge but had not called on board, nor had he called at Aboukir castle where the Sorbagi and Mamelouk messengers were awaiting him. Urges Briggs to tell Missett he was to come on board at once for discussion. |
