nearly ready for sea. The move.
ments Of our ships are watched
and we sometimes learn from
the London Times OF movements made in this
squadron. The English officer told ME that
the retiring Of the Sumter and our capture
constitute the first act in the drama, and then
the capture Of the Constellation, OF st. Louis,
or both, or their destruction If they refused
to surrender. I saw the Sumter under steam
q few hours after the consultation with the
Englishman, who, in shaking hands with me,
said: e Your storeship Is wntched, rs Sernmes
