within a short distance of schooner, which was

The proper guards were posted, and the officers

only TO find confronting them armed Rebels, with
rcvolvtrs already cooked and drawn sabres.
Captain Sawtelle and Lieutenant Dodge were
Immediately seized, and resistance was impo'si-

would have been death.
The Rebels then took their prisoners on board
Of the barges and secured them in the hold, by
fastening down the hatches. Previous to their
being confined, they relieved Captain Sawtelle of
his gold watch and about $500 he was unable to
hide.
Lieutenant 1 odge was more lucky he man
aged to rip the binding of his pautaloons and
hide his money. During the imprisonment, Cap
tain Sawtele learned that the schooner which lay
near them was captured ais }, and burnt during
the night. She was loaded with suffers stores.
