A note about image and OCR quality

Every reasonable effort has been made to present these document images as flat, straight and accurately cropped as possible. Historical records can be difficult to photograph or scan because of tight bindings, deep gutters, page curvature, folds, creases, fragile paper, uneven edges, shadows, glare, skewed pages, fading, stains, tears, attachments and restrictions on how a document may be handled. These conditions can distort parts of an image and consequently affect the OCR transcription.

Considerable post-production work has been undertaken to crop, align, flatten and enhance the images where practicable, but the results represent our best effort rather than exact facsimiles. Text showing through from the reverse of a page, printed backgrounds, stamps, ruled lines, marks and text visible from neighbouring pages may confuse or spoil OCR output. Handwriting is not reliably recognised and, in most places, may be missing, incomplete or incorrectly transcribed. Always check the page image and, where accuracy matters, consult the original record held by the identified archive.

OCR is not a transcription. It is machine-generated text used to create research tags and help locate names and references within the source images; it should not be read as a verified narrative.

in reply to a question if
any British officers were still left on the Mole, I replied
that on earlier trips 1 had seen one who had asked me not
to leave him behind. This officer was engaged in helping
the embarkation of the troops. 1 had not seen him on my
last trip but told tug I would make another trip to see if
he was there. Informed tug would be as quick as possible
and if tug could not wait, would return to England under
own power. Tug said she could only wait a short while.
On going in for fifth time engines began to go badly
and stopped altogether before reaching point of embarkation.
Engines got going again and we went alongaide and collected
about 24 more French soldiers. There was no sign of British
officer and Price reported to me that French on the Mole told
him he had gone. 1 sent Price up on to the Mole to make
enquiries. Owing to the improbability or tug waiting for
us, I only took 24 soldiers as a greater number would have
made trip back to England under own power too hazardous. Just
after passing lighthouse at end of harbour, engines stopped
again. Noticed we were close to W.D. sraft (later found to
