The date of Troubridge’s marching against Capua is similarly brought into doubt by these letters.  The author believes it to have been July 13 or 14, from another official letter to Keith of the 13th. (Nicolas, vol. iii. p. 404.) “Captains Troubridge and Hallowell ... march against Capua to-morrow morning.”  The odd Sea-Time of that day, by which July 13 began at noon, July 12, of Civil Time, also causes confusion; writers using them indiscriminatingly.  The capitulation of St. Elmo was certainly signed on July 12. (Clarke and M’Arthur, vol. ii. p. 294.)

[89] Nicolas, vol. v. p. 160.
