Secret Rendezvous.
Off Cape St. Vincent, where a Frigate will be stationed to give information where I am to be found. In the event of not meeting the said Frigate, after cruizing twenty-four hours, the Ship in search of me must call off Cape St. Mary’s and Cadiz, approaching them with the utmost caution.
