the
pirates late belonging to His Majesty's armed vessel, the _Bounty_, and
the convicts, deserters from Port Jackson (whom I had under my charge on
board the Dutch East India Company's ships) into His Majesty's said ship,
for their greater security, and I took the same opportunity myself to
embark on board on her for England and I hope that these steps will be
approved of by their Lordships.

I gave you an account of my arrival at the Cape of Good Hope and of my
intentions to embark on board the _Gorgon_ with the pirates, convicts,
&c. in a letter which I did myself the honour to address to you from
thence and sent by the _Baring_, Thomas Fingey, Master, an American ship
bound to Ostend.

Inclosed is the state of the company of His Majesty's Ship _Pandora_ at
the time I left the Cape of Good Hope, and the manner in which they were
disposed of on board Dutch East India Company's ships in order to be
brought to Europe and also a list of the pirates late belonging to the
_Bounty_, and of the convicts, deserters from Port Jackson, delivered to
me by Mr. Wanjon, the Governor of the Dutch settlements in the island of
Timor, now on board His Majesty's Ship _Gorgon_.

I arrived yesterday evening at St. Helens, left the _Gorgon_, and landed
at Portsmouth last night and I am now at this office awaiting their
Lordships' Commands.

And I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient and humble servant,
EDW. EDWARDS.
Philip Stevens, Esq."
