SINGAPORE, f. l., Dec. I, 1872.
The harbor OF Singapore presents now the rather
curious spectacle Of the American. flag iOating |
over a cargo of coolies. The Knsin, with load
OF LOO Of the above freight, came in from Swa- |
tow last week. Her captain (DeviIle) was to
receive $4,000 on delivery Of his cargo here; bat,
the $1,000 not being Forthcoming on his arrival.

and, finally driven to desperation by the swelter-

try and swim ashore, and thus escape the torments
to which they were subjected on board. The per-
severtng captain, determined TO maintain his hold
on his collateral till his $40 900 is paid applied to the
United States Consul for aid but invain. He has no
authority to aid him in collecting his debt or mold
ing his slippery collateral. He soon surrounded his
steamer with 1Otila OF floating small craft to \
catch the flying, or rather swimming fugitives. |
