| Abstract : 1721-1722. Le Havre. Proceedings relating to five Englishmen, who were arrested as pirates by the Maréchal d\'Estrées (Captain Jean Prudhomme) on its return from Louisiana. Said vessel belongs to the Company of Senegal. The Englishmen were imprisoned at Le Havre, and they await an English vessel to carry them home. According to Prudhomme, the five Englishmen were arrested by Kerguenelle, captain of the Saint André; and they then were transferred to the Maréchal d\'Estrées and carried to Le Havre by order of the Commandant of Louisiana and of the directors general of the Company of the Indies. [N.B. The Sacramental Records of New Orleans (1718-1750, p. 202-203) indicated a Charles Kerguenelle, ship captain, in 1731]. The English version of said proceedings is more detailed. Jean Williams, Joseph Cash, Thomas Cox, Antoine Long and George Raddon, English crewmen on the Sea Nymph (commanded by André Rowe, staying at Providence), were unable to sell their cargo in Havana. They thus were tempted to unload it in \"Mobile Mississippi\" on the advice of their factor, who gave them a letter of safe-conduct for the Louisiana governor. En route to Mobile, they were boarded by the Saint André, taken to Mobile and put in irons. The Maréchal d\'Estrées took them back to Le Havre, after spending nineteen days at Dover without freeing them. Proceeding dossiers of the Admiraulty of Le Havre, 1717-1726. Archives départementales de la Seine-Maritime (AD76), 216 BP, fol. 305. |
