File Clenennau letters and papers 730. - W. Spicer to Sir John Owen, Vice-Admiral of North Wales, at Clenennau,

Has just come home from Aberdaron inquiring after that ship-wreck which was cast away in a place where neither men nor goods could be saved. The country had the goods that came ashore and hid them where the writer could not find them notwithstanding his diligent search. But he has taken a course which will tame Llyn men when the court of the Admiralty meets a month hence. The ship was laden with beef, tallow, hides, butter, tar and wool. PS The portmanteau where the money is will hardly come ashore. He has taken a course for taking up the cables and anchors at the first fair weather.
