PIRACY !!-On board the American brig
Huron, Reuben Newcomb, Captain, Oh
her passage from Savannah to the port OF
Liverpool. e9th June, 1918, lat. So, 10,
lon. 90, 50.
o. The following narrative was sent 10
our office too late for our last publication,
but appears OF too much Importance 10 be
omitted. ltproceeds from 50 respectable
a quarter, that there can lie no doubt Of It's
Authenticity:
"On the day aforementioned, we were
boarded betwixt the hours OF 3 and T. NJ.
by priyateer, or rather pirate brig, under
Spanish colOrs, when our vessel underwent
search by the boarding officer and D men,
armed with cullasses and pistols, who, after
Capt. \. had gone on board the pirate, as
ordered by her commanding officer, plum
dered Us OF a variety OF articles, 10 The a.
mount OF $50 dollars, without making any
compensation whatever The crew OF the
pirate appeared to consist almost entirely
OF lrishmen, Englishmen and Americans
and all those who came on board OF Us (the
boarding officer in PARTICULAR seemed 10 be
most determined robbers. As soon as these
villains got up our side, they ordered the
whole OF our passengers TO the fore pant OF
our vessel under guard, while part OF the
banditti went down into the cabin, aid
rummaged and piiicrcd whatever they
conld conveniently carry of; opening every
trunk, locker, &c. they could Iav iEcir
bands on. Some OF tie passengers wish
ing 10 90 below TO see what was going on,
were threatened by one of the pirates, that,
il tIey did, they would get their . brains
blown out" But this was not all their
threatening, for Nj. Seglais, French
gentleman, and passenger on board, was
treated with The greatest rudeGess by the
boarding officer, who went by the name of
Stewart This fellow, under the frivolous
prelext Of Mr.. S. having about him 10 cts.
in Venezuela money, which he had got in
Savannah, and was keeping as a curiosity.
