Diary of John Quincy Adams, volume 1
1779-11-15
This morning a brig and a schooner went out I suppose after wood to the eastward. About 8
o clock the Gentlemen went to breakfast. Sammy Charles and I dont breakfast with them. About
ten o clock we set sail in company with a brig which is to carry back the Pilot and the
Courier De L'Europe1 who came from France with
us. About half after three the Pilot went away from us; he told us he would stay
of
A chasse marée, which accompanied La
Sensible back to France until dismasted and presumably lost at sea in a violent storm
less than two weeks later (entry for 27 Nov.,
