Presumably the Benja. Lurvey, Master of the schooner Selican (Pelican?), who on 23 Feb 1758 on his oath before the Boston selectmen, declared that he had left Halifax last Sabbath night and brought two lieutenants, four sergeants,two drummers and one servant belonging to Hopson's Regiment and Benjamin Lampson of this town with a young lad and that he had no cargo; he had arrived this day in the harbor. About three months later, 17 May, Benj. Lurvey, Master of the schooner Three Sisters, reported to the selectmen that he had left Halifax last Sunday night, brought up one passenger Edward Fudge of this own and no cargo; his people were all well. He was stopped the previous night at the Castle on account of the smallpox in Halifax. The selectmen voted that he should come to town with his vessel.
