>>There is another interesting passage in this book: >>Bompar returned to Brest on November 7, 1759, with 8 >>SoL’s; without even a single sick (!); he wished >>greatly to join Conflans’ expedition, asking for only >>8 days – to unload sugar (from Sano-Domingo) and to >>load victuals and water, but Duc d’Aigillon and >>Minister Berrier opposed it, they thought that >>Conflans’ forces were quite enough, 8 days – too long >>time, British would have time to suspect invasion. >>Conflans disarmed Bompar’s squadron and departed on 14 >>November. > >My understanding has been that Conflans did not want >to use Bompar's ships because they were in poor >condition after their long service in the West Indies. > Instead, he transferred the sailors to strengthen the >crews of the ships he already had ready for sea. I'd >have to look around for the source of this information.
