ref:888Admiral Keppel wrote to the Admiralty from Port Royal .
"The Lurcher Cutter being in a Crazy Condition and requiring such continual Repairs of all Kinds, and being very much eat by worms, I have ordered her to be dismantled and sold.
Captain Truscott and his officers returned home by the first ships bound to England, and her people I have turned over into the ships here in order to assist in Manning the late Spanish Ships at the Havanna"
