The New Hampshire Gazette

We hear that Admiral Boscawen, when he waited on his Majesty, met with a particularly kind Reception; and that his Majesty asked a great many Questions concerning the Place, the Health of the Sailors and Soldiers, &c. and upon the whole expressed an uncommon Satisfaction.--His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and Prince Edward were also very particular in their Enquiries.----It is remarkable that there has been little or no Sickness on board the Admiral's Ship either in going, or coming home, except when they went ashore at Halifax, where about forty fell sick, occasioned by drinking and other Irregularities: but that when the Admiral ordered the Sick on board again, they recovered apace, chiefly Owing to their being deprived of Liquor, and to the working of the Ventilators, which were of infinite Service in the Preservation of the people on board.--It is generally thought, that if Ventilators Were more used, it would preserve the Lives of as many Sailors in a Year, as are lost by Accident or in a Battle.
