Leinster Bay is the swum — the 'one mile' that's the water crossed, the 'Tortola free' that's the '34 promise. The 'shoot to kill' is the ordered — the 'von Scholten' that's the governor's word, the 'frigate patrolled' that's the bay watched. The 'hundred' is the tried — the 'freedom seekers' that's the count known, the 'families left' that's the price paid.
The 'guardhouse' is the watched — the '17 soldiers' that's the eyes kept, the 'property protected' that's the purpose meant. The 'largest estate' is the fled — the '228 enslaved' that's the '05 count, the '9 percent' that's the island's share. Leinster is the near — the 'freedom visible' that's the Tortola seen, the 'mile of risk' that's the swim measured.
The file keeps Leinster: the mile swim, the shoot order, the guardhouse, and the hundred who tried.
Leinster Bay is the archive's Virgin Islands file — the water between slavery and freedom.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Leinster Bay is the archive's Virgin Islands file — the mile swimmers risked for British soil.
A waterfront keeps its swimmers — the file's suggestion being that Leinster's hold is the risked: the 'shoot to kill' that's the order given, the 'one mile' that's the freedom's width, and the 'hundred tried' that's the courage counted.
