May 14th. Although the surf was very high, as the Viceroy of Whydah had sent off a number of canoes, we deemed it ex pedient to land; and, under a salute from her Majesty's ship Kingfisher, reached the shore with the loss of one case of twenty muskets. When we arrived at the town of Whydah, the British fort saluted us with twenty-one guns. The following day we visited the Viceroy, who was very civil, and after a complimentary conversation, retired to our residence in the British fort.
