The Rebel Pirate Shenandoah.

The Captain Of a vessel recently destroyed
by this new British pirate thus describes her
The steamer is full rugged ship, with roll
ing topsails, iron lower masts, bowsprit, steel
lower yards, and capable of steaming under
full sail eleven knots, She was built at Glas-
goWs by Messrs. Stevens & Sons, in 1858, and
was formerly called the Sea King, and by the
mocer1s oWn report, had been employed on
the London and Bombay line of steamers. She
is now armed with four sixty eight FOUNDER
smooth bore guns, two 0thirty-twopound rifles,
and two twelve.p pounder smooth bore guns.
She had forty three men on board, nearly all
of whom had joined from captured vessels.
She was fitted out at sea or at Funchal har-
Dor, by another steamer, which had been sent
out from England for the purpose. She had a
clearance from London to Bombay, which
they said she had on board at the time.
In my opinion she is not fit to fight any ves-
sci, as she is not able to use any of her guns,
except the small ones, and for those she had
only one or two rounds of ammunition. She
