1740 In the middle of June, 1740, the FIFTEENTH, twenty-fourth, twenty-seventh regiments, and the six battalions of marines, were encamped on the Isle of Wight, under the orders of General Lord Cathcart. Towards the end of July, the camp broke up, and the FIFTEENTH, and twenty-fourth regiments, and the six regiments of marines, embarked on board the fleet for the West Indies. Some delay occurred, and after putting to sea, the fleet was twice driven back by con- trary winds ; on the 26th of Octo...ber it sailed a third time, and was dispersed by a tempest in the Bay of Biscay ; but the greater part of the vessels were re- collected and proceeded on the voyage. Arriving at Dominica to provide wood and water, the troops lost their gallant leader, General Lord Cathcart (then colonel of the sixth dragoon guards or Carabineers), who died of dysentery ; and the command devolved on Brigadier-General Thomas Wentworth. 1741 The expedition arrived at Jamaica in January, 1741, and the appearance of this force dispelled the appre- hension of an attack on that island by the combined fleets of France and Spain, and also enabled the British commanders to act offensively.
