[89] Sandy Hook.
[90] An error of the quartermaster's in copying. There is no Cape Roman on the north coast of Cuba. The captain had no doubt written Cayo Romano. Cayo Romano is a small island, one of the "Jardines del Rey" that fringe the north coast of eastern Cuba, bordering on the Old Bahama Channel.
[91] Shroud.
[92] An allusion to the "Great Awakening", and to the revivalist preaching of George Whitefield in Boston in the autumn of 1740 and of Gilbert Tennent in the ensuing winter. Tyler at any rate (John Tyler of Boxford and Boston) seems certainly to have been affected by the "New Light" movement, for in 1745 the Second Church in Boxford suspended him, among others, for "receiving into their houses Itinerant Preachers and holding meetings in opposition to the repeated entreaties of their Brethren". The Tyler Genealogy, I. 43.
[93] Sharp-sterned.
[94] Error for, with him.
[95] A variety of periwig named after Charles Spencer, better known as the second earl of Sunderland. A night-gown in 1741 was a dressing-gown.
