Navy Department 10 receive Oh board a
convey 10 France, our late minister to
that county, aud afterwards to cruize on
the coast OF England and Ireland, for the
purpose o. intcrccpting and destroying
me commerce of the enemy IN that quar-
ter That amer executing the former part
of the order, the Argus proceeded OHher
crai2e, ana IN the course Of three weeks
on service of the greatest difficulty and
danger, captured nineteen British yes
sells IN the Irish Channel, amounting in
value, with their cargoss, TO about two
and half millions of dollars, as will ap-
pear by the documents accompanying
tins petition that his orders from the ma
Wy department, hereto annexed, forbade
the SAID commander 30 send any of his
prizes into port, " unless q" their value
and qualities should render il" morally
certain that they might reach" a safe and
not distant port Ill those prizes, except
two, were accordingly destroyed at sea.
with their cargoeS and the only two which.
under his orders, he deemed himself al
liberty to attempt TO save, were recap
turcd by the enemy; that after seriously
inJurlng the commerce of the enemy in
those seas, the Argus was captured by a
superloriorce, on the l4th of August, 1918
her commander, with other officers and
many finer crew, mortally wounded, and
The survivors remained long time in cap
