It has been asked of the sail-makers who have been ^ called, whether the Indian sails are as good as those made here : they answered no: I cannot doubt them when they say so; but they shew the effect the system in question has upon the interest of their trade. Although the sails may not be so good as ours, says one witness, the difference in the price, and the facility of getting them will make such amends, that, as the ships I have seen have been equipped with Indian sails, so they will contin...ue to be equipped.
