1717 - L Nov. 21; ed: 2/1 - The capture of the FLORIDA in a Prazilian
port has caused much comment in Europe. Their anxiety arises from
the fact that she is a pirate ship, an English-built vessel, manned
by Englishmen, and England can be held responsible for any damage done
by her. "If the Brazilian government demands her surrender, her
depredations on American commerce will only increase the account to
be settled against the government that first allowed her to go forth." (3)
