sent ashore nom the saratoga TO look
/ for Walkers stores, and also to arrest
and bring on board such men as re-
fused to come on board. Great guam
titles Of goods were lying about loose,
and Jamaica negroes, from GFeytown, !
with their white associates, Were busy
stealing and burying in the sand what
they could not carry Oft.
The party sent ashore to seize the
stores, met with many difficulties in |
finding the goods but their principal
trouble,-not devoid of amusement,
however,-was the arresting OF the
men who refused to come voluntarily
on board. These men took refuge in
the woods, and, hiding in the thick
chapparal, had to be hunted with per-
severance and shrewdness. The ma
rincs went at the work actively, and
in the evening reported thirty-two cap
lures. with large quantities of arms,
provisions. and amunition, which they
had found stored in the woods and
buried under the sand. The articles
: of armament and commissariat were
, turned over TO the Wabash, boxed up
and prepared for delivery to the L. ;.
: authorities.
a party Of nine men succeeded in
procuring two boats, in which they
went mp the river to strengthen the
: command of Col. Anderson.
Many of the officers and men de
stroyed their arms in the first hour of
excitement and the camp of the Me
& araguau army is now scene OF wreck
!. and ruin--riIles, muskets, pistols, and
1 camp equipments, lying about in every
c direction.
