Two Bevis questions:
1. Isn't it likely the "CL tommes" transcribed above ought to be
"CL tonnes," which is to say, 150 tons (weight of ship)?
2. Does anyone know the Bevis dates of actual departure and
arrival? the above reference to May 2 seems to be date of a Warrant
(permission to sail?), not a date of departure.
