belonging to the Austrian "Lloyd's" was
arrested by the Captain in the name of
the Consul of Austria, and was informed

sea, whence he was rescued by boat and
conveyed to the Consul of the United
States, who at once took him under his
protection, and compelled the Austrian
Captain to give up the wife and children
of the fugitive.
