whaleships now arriving from New Bei.o'd have Oh
board officers and seamen who have been captureo
by Semnes, and their vessels being burned, nave
been returned to Now Bedford. where they nave
reshipped. 4 few days ago We met a Portuguese sea
man, who lad been taken from a wbsler ana WIKI
the rest Of the crew kept on board the -7!aoa0'a III
an opportunity offered for sending them home
Among the crew Of the whsler TO which our infor-
mant belonged. were seventeen Portuguese, ana
Semmes tried hard to get them to ship on board the
-4lobanu, as she was short handed at the time, but
every man stubbornly refused to serve. Semmes told
them that they would fud more and better whaies
with him than in New Bedford whaleships, with good
pay and fare, and plenty of sport. When the cap
tured crew was taken on board the -7fa6dmG, he says
all were searched, and everything taken from them'
even the gold and silver change that they had. From
this Portuguese they took twenty dollars in gold, o
knife and some other trinkets from an officer Of the vessel
they took a gold watch and a large sum Of money, all which
they promised to return; but when leaving the pirate, they were
forced to go without them, though they asked to have the things
restored. The alabama is not an iron vessel nor iron-ciad, but
has wire rigging. Her best speed with steam and saiis IS 10
knots. She has six port guns and two long range swivel guns
Her superiority over most vessels consists in her speed. so lar
as her armament is concerned, any ordinary sloop OF war Is
more than a match for her.
