then a Coventry, Conn, and often at
points near New Haven Earbor. And
yet very few know the story Of Captain
hidd's wauderings. We present be-
low an authentic sketch, which IS a..
most as good as romance:
- The slave trade being legitimate
pursuit, and followed as a regular
branch of foreign trade for many years
previous ard subsequent to 1890. was
exceedingly profitable, though some
what haza -dons, owing 70 piraticai adj
venturers who followed them into their
remote trading places. and often rob
bed them Ct their stores and money
used IN the purchase OF negroes. This
practice became so great 4 pest to the
mercantile Interests that efforts were
made by influential merchants of New
\ ork to induce the English ministry

vessel, properly armed to act against
privateers.
