ruE yEssEI-ARREsr OF THE MAN IN CHARGE
On Saturday week, the sloop achilles arrived at
this port in the sole charge of Peter Petermah'
who acted as both captain and crew. Petermah
did not report to the Custom House, or give any
account of the rather sine~lar circumstances OF
heinn in full possession of the vessel, and as II
gave his wife who lives here quite a sum OF
money. some suspicion was awakened, and the
attention Of the police and Of the Custom House
oiicers was called to the affair In consequence
Of this Collector Nolen seized the vessel
to investigate the matter, and ofhcers
Evans and Maharty, by direction OF the
High Constable arrested Peterman. He had an
examination on Tuesday before the Mayor,
when he stated that he was part owner of the
sloop, he and Captain Herman Workman, whose
name appears on her papers as master, having
purchased the sloop in New York with view 70
| running along the coast and buying up Junk
nc. lie further declared that Captain Woodmal
was knocked overheard by the boom, off big
| EGG Harbor and drowned, and that he Cpeterman
had navgated the vessel around to Wilmington
| himself.
This seemed to be a satisfactory explanation
and Tie Mayor merely held him for a furthe
hearing. after the statements in regard to tn
purchase Of the vessel, ETC., shall have been Ill
yestigated. The most suspicious circumstanc
about the affair is Peterman's failure to rrepoi
tbe alleged facts Immediately on his arrival.
