Events and Movements
1711/04/29 sailed from St. Helens B029
1711/06/24 Reached Nantasket Road, near Boston B029
1711/07/30 Sailed from Boston B029
1711/08/18 Anchored in Gaspe Bay, near the mouth of the St. Lawrence B029
1711/08/20 Left the Bay B029
1711/08/21 Turned into the river St. Lawrence B029
1711/08/22 and the 23rd. Eight transports were wrecked, and eight hundred and eighty-four men, out of less than fourteen hundred on board them, perished B029
1711/09/16 Sailed from Spanish River Bay bound for England B029
1711/10/09 Arrived at St. Helens B029
1712/00/00 No inquiry was instituted at the time; but, after the accession of George I, the administration took up the question, and Walker was struck off the flag-list and deprived of his half-pay. Paddon also was dismissed the service, and afterwards entered that of Peter the Great. Apart from the intrinsic merits of their case, it seems hard that the two officers should have been thus dealt with when their conduct had been condoned, if not tacitly approved, by the fact of their appointment to fresh commands after the return of the Quebec expedition B029
