On Sunday evening the Purser of the Hampshire East-Indiaman came to the India-house, with an account of the above ship being safe arrived at Spithead, from Bombay; she sailed on her voyage from the Downs the 13th of March 1771, and brings advice that the Clive, Capt Allen, from Bombay, and the Rochford, Capt Hunt, from Coast and Bay, were both arrived at St Helena, and were to sail for England in a few days. [Hampshire Chronicle, 19 October 1772]
