THE CAPTURE OF THE SLAYER "STORM


KING"
correspondent of the Ne,g York Herald, writ
ing on board of the United States steamer San
JocintO, off Congo River, August o, gives the fol-
lowing account of the capture of the SLAYER Storm
hing, now in the harbor of Norfolk:
That everything must have a beginning is, be-
heVe generally admitted, and the beginning of a
new order of things in the United States African
squadron was yesterday inaugurated in the capture
by this ship of the American brig Storm Kipg forty
eight hours from the Congo, with six hundred and
twenty negroes on board, all in prime condition
and intended, of course for the Cuba market as is
amply demonstrated by numerous business letters
to respectable Havana firms
Although bright lookout was of course kept
for all suspicious craft yet it was not anticipated
that SLAYER would be caught at two hundred
miles distance from the land. As sighted her in
calm, we are indebted to steam alone for our cap
ture. Her capture was a most unexpected event
lor her captain and passengers, who were already
congratulatng themselves on the certain prospects
OF their enjoying the il-gotten prize
1he vessel hoisted no colors, had no name on her
stern, and possessed neither register nor log; had
she produced both it would have been unavailing,
as her suspicious appearance would have fully
warranted us in boarding her, when sufficient inter
nal evidence existed to at once convict her.
Her cargo consists in very great part of young
children OF both sexes, together with very large
number of women, all in complete state of nudity
packed into space of not more than four feet high
and ventilated by only large and two small
matches, from which an eifluVia ascended enough
to discompose the strongest stomach. Although
heartsickening sight, and most revolving to all
feelings of humanity, it was not unalloyed with
satisfaction, when the welkn rang with their shouts
OF JOY, on comprehending that they were now in
the hands of friends and benefactors
The brig crew. who return to the United States
in her, consists of twelve men, including the cap
tain two mates and two passengers Spaniards) the
| captain is an Englshman, named Lockhart, and is
| an old hand at the trade
Documents were found on board fully establish
ing her identity and that of her charterers in New
York, whose names will be, of conrse divulged in
due time. She was boarded only three days since,
in the Congo, by the English steamer Spitfre, but
managed to bluff her. officers off by display of
virtuouS indignation. We are now slowly towing
the vessel up coast Tonight she will leave US,
bound for Monrovia to deliver her negroes to the
United States agent at that place, and proceed
thence to Norfolk, in obedience to an order of Flag
Officer lnman, directing all prizes taken on the
| coast to be carried into that port.
