Heading 'Compostura de un cañon.' — 'Que uno de los 3 cañones de á 24, de que le dió parte estaba descompuesto, á fuerza de experimentos lo ha dejado apto y útil. Que segun cree, no está buena la pólvora, pues q.e d.ho cañon cargado con ella, hace avanzar muy poco la bala.' Gloss: one of San Francisco's three 24-pounders repaired by trial and error; Alberni reports the powder is bad, the ball carrying poorly.
