STEWARD, Francis,—was made commander of the Happy Entrance, and afterwards of the Sancta Maria, both in the year 1665. He had the charge of a very valuable fleet from Hull in the month of February, and with the greatest diligence and success convoyed it safely, notwithstanding the sea was at that time almost covered with Dutch cruisers. In the following year he was removed into the Golden Phœnix.
