well known New Orleans for several days previous
the that Walker the of setting out for
Nicaragua, yet il effected only ut the last moment
for at two o'clock the morning succeeding his arrest
portion Of his men embarked board the Fashion, and
he himself, with his staff anthree hundred more follow
ed them the afternoon in the mail boat California
for Mobile On arriving at Mobile he and his party
transferred to tho Dick Keyes which steamed
down the bay and joined the Fashion, on board which all
the ibusers put and she started of the 14th OF
November for Greytown. The whole force board
amounted to four hundred men, and she said be wen
stored with arms and ammunition. One Of the New
Orleans papers describes the men a fine looking
set Of fellows each carrying blanket and carpet bag
looking quite like band Of peaceful emgrans There s
doubt but that Walker managed his departure very
skilfuy, entirely outwtng the government officials and
the commander Of the United States cutter which
lay in the Mississippi with view to intercept the exped
ton should it sail from New Orleans But by making
Mobile the starting point Walker completely spoiled what
ever plans might have been made to intercept him. 1t

Mobile three hundred and fifty had left from differ
ent other ports sailing vessels General Henningsens
