We published recently the fact that number IF
Portuguese sailors had come ashore a. Montauk
whose mysterious movements led to the suspicion that
tley had come from some slaver-the more especially
the vessel from which these persons had come sud-
denly disappeared, as if scutted and sunk. The fo-
lowing from The Sag HarJ0r CoaraM furnishes some
further particulars. but not enough TO clear up the
mystery;

time, was that these men had landed on Moniauk in 4
boat belonging to some cpper-but vessel that they
refused 10 give correct account of themselves, and
that they hired Mr.. Gould 10 bring them here. One
incident might here be mentioned: the Deputy Mar

to Muntauk the same day these men were brought off,
Had these arrived one day later they would have
all been arrested a. they landed IN the vicinity of
