A PIRATE IN THE SOUTH ATLANTIC.—The following re-
port of the barque Elephanta, contains most important infor-
mation, which we hasten to place before the public. The Ele-
phants, of 340 tons, W. Cocks, master, left Liverpool on the
18th of July, and arrived in this port on the 7th instant. On
her voyage she encountered a piratical vessel, of which the
following account is given :—" Tuesday, October 2, 1849—At
daylight, calm, cloudy weather, a strange sail in sight to the
eastward. At 8, a.m., she made all sail and bore down with a
light breeze from southeast. At 10 the stranger having her
colours up, we hoisted ours. At 11 she fired a gun to leeward ;
we immediately shortened sail and hove to, not liking the looks
of her. At 11.30 she ranged up alongside, and hove-to to wind-
ward, and hailed Where from and where bound ?' then
ordered a boat to be hoisted out and sent on board with the
captain ; he was informed that the boats were all inboard and
under repairs, when, after some delay,:he asked if we were
coming. He was then told again that the boats were all secured
inboard. He said it did not signify. You must come.' We
immediately hoisted the cutter out. The captain not wishing
to go, I went on board. He then asked me .where from and
where bound, and what the cargo consisted of, and if we had
any guns or ammunition on board ? After consulting among
themselves in Spanish and Portuguese, they told me to go on
board. She then came close under our lee, and asked our
longitude, which was 24c1.55m. west ; latitude, 24d. 51m. south.
The sthooner's longitude was42sd. sm. west. She then stood
away'to the northeast, and -fired a quantity of muskets off. We
saw her during the afternoon, sometimes before the wind,
sometimes lying to, apparently wishing to keep in the same
latitude and longitude. She was a two topsail schooner, with
a fore royal and main topgallant sail, and a large main staysail;
the mainsail hauled down in the bead ; a large gun amidships
looking over the rail, upon pivots, and topgallant bulwarks all
round,-with the gangway made to unship, which was all clear
and ready for action when I was on board, with men attending
the large gun. The fire-place was built of brick on deck before
the guns, and gratings on the hatches. She had a billet head,
carved and gilded, and gilding on the stern. She appeared to
carryher beam far aft. The two head men were Spaniards or
Portuguese—the interpreter was either Scotch or Irish. If the
cargo been anyways valuable I think they would have
plundered us. Their colours were blue white blue, or black
white black, with a yellow ball with two eyes in the middle of
the white ; and there was a look-out at the fore royal mast
head?'—Postcripl to the Cape of Good Hope Shipping and
Mercantile Gazette, Nov. 9, 1849.
