Mustapha.... Ship. 26 Not Muskat. •150 Indif­ She was built at Muskat out of
known. ferent. 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 of Momhassa, and is the
only one of the squadron not
here.
ltuhmcany ... Corvette. 24 1833 Cochin. 725 Excel­ A very fine and beautiful cor­
lent. 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 stato
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.
Sultana Barque. 10 1833 Bombay. 300 Quite She is a very handsome, strong,
new. 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 lias
about 10 or 15 men on board.
Targe Schoo­ None. 1829 Cochin. 125 Good. She is a pretty little vessel, and
ner. is intended as a yacht. She
was built at Cochin at the
samo 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 meu ; 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 cousist of half Arabs and half Lascars. Ilis 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.
