The American frigate 'Dromo' (Capt. Davis): outfitted in Boston for Pacific contraband, found at Guaymas selling goods, heading to Mazatlán. Detailed seizure orders: if it reaches the coast, detain it (unship the rudder), inventory the cargo, arrest captain/master/supercargo/crew, seize navigation papers, take separate depositions to expose its purpose — contra the King's orders & the treaties of peace/limits/navigation with the United States.
