The Sarah Chase sailed July 90, carrying 30
men end arms, as follows 4 nine pound carron
AIDES 40 muskets 80 cutlssses 600 rounds o.
ball and canister shot; coo cartridges for can
non; IL kegs powder; GOO musket cartridges,
and a large quantity Of balls, flints, &c, &c.
Besides which she carries cargo of great value,
being the stores, provisions medicines tools, and
entire outft Of the expedition. glance at her
bill of ladng presents tho whole list OF articles
niece ssary to the settlement Of an island in the
Pacific Ocean, as yet upnhablted, even to the
minutest articles of household furniture-it being
the design to sustain at least one hundred aud
fifty men on the island
The special reason for aiming the Sarah Chase,
as stated by Copt. Jewett, is that the Secretary
OF tn, Navy informed him that, on account OF the
troubles in Ecuador, it would be impossible for
our Commodore in the Pacific to station vessel
at the islands, but that the squadron would
cruise in that direction and as soon as he judged
il proper the Commodore would send vessel
there.
In the meantime it ia manifest enough that these
parties nesd ed arms to defend their water casks
on the island, il for nothing else. 1t will be very
evident from the small amount Of arms, as well as
on rejecting that no water can he procured on
the island that such defense constituted the vi
tally OF the expedition, and therefore cannot
be construed into any expectation of making phi
yste war.
