Indif
ferent.
She was built at Muskat out of
plank taken from Rangoon,
and timber of Muskat. This
plan did not answer. She is,
I understand, the most in
different of the squadron.
She is now blockading the
port o£Mombassa, and is the
only one of the squadron not
here.

A very fine and beautiful cor
vette, with great beam, draw
ing only 14 feet water, and is
said to beat everything. His
Highness the Imaum came
down from Muskat in this ship
about two months since. She
is at present in the same state
as the others, having struck
her masts and yards, and un
rigged them, since we have
been here. She has about 30
men on board.

Quite
new.
She is a very handsome, strong,
and well built vessel; only
arrived from Bombay a few
days ago, and is in the same
state as the others, with masts
and yards down. She has
about 10 or 15 men onboard.

Good.
She is a pretty little vessel, and
is intended as a yacht. She
was built at Cochin at the
same time as Piedmontese,
and is in the same state as
the others. Has 6 or 8 men
on board.
Note -it will be seen that the squadron has but few men ; they might, by taking nearly
the whole of the men now here, be able to send one ship to sea. Their plan is to keep but
few men on board, and when the squadron is wanted for service to send to Muskat for crews
which generally consist of half Arabs and half
Lascars
A term used by the British officials to describe non-European sailors employed on East India Company ships.
. His Highness finding the Liverpool
of seventy-four guns (a very fine ship, and in good condition), too large for the service of
Muskat, has offered her as a present to His Majesty.
