JVafsrs.-The editor of Our Mutual Friend, |
of Milford, in an article IN that paper, dated |
9 O'Clock Saturday morning, says; I'VE
received the most positive Information from
parties who were fishing near "Bennetts
pier,' on the bay shore, to the effect that
two schooners and small steamer were seen
hovering near the coast on Thursday, and
about midnight eight boats were lowered
from the sides of the steamer, and afler being
manned were rowed some distance up the
bay, returning loaded with men. The men
were plainly seen from the shore when they
embarked by the lights on the decks, and
were fully armed and equipped. Those
who witnessed the embarkation are conf
dent that the three vessels took on board at
least 500 men, as the boats were making
trips for over an hour. The supposltion is
that the men were taken in the boats near
the mouth of Murderkill Creek. The fleet
remained quietly near the shore until about
four o'clock, when they got under way and
went outside. Later information says that
on Friday morning small steamer and two
schooners passed Cape Henlopen about sl1
O'Clock. The beliefis that the steamer can't
from New York, and that the majority o
the men came down by land TO avoid th'
government authorities at that city, wht
are instructed 10 prevent violation of th'
neutrality laws"
