Command as chief or Principal Officer, and you are to pro-

Main, of the Eastern Shore and there check, or distress the
Enemy, all you can. If you think it may be done with Suc-

Enemy's main Force in the sound, but in this or any other
Matter of Consequence, you are to have a Meeting of

Baltimore as a Guard below, but no Hands are to be left in

Ships change their Station to any other Place within this
