ton of the firginius at the time of the |
capture. One gives the capture as having |
been effected twenty miles from Jamaica |
The official account states within twelve |
miles.
The Tornado, the steamer that captured |
the Virginius, was apprised of her presence
in the vicinity of Morent Bay on the 30th
of October and next day set sail after her.
AT the time of the capture the Virgin
ius was flying the American flag, but this
was pulled down by the Spanish officer,
and the Spanish ensign hoisted in its place,
although the papers of the vessel, duly
dispatched for Colon, were handed him.
After the capture the next two hours were
employed in transferring some of the pri-
soners to the Tornado and putting prize
crew on the Virginius. At midnight the
two vessels started for Santiago de Cuba
and arrived the following day at P. NJ,
having been joined by the Spanish steamer
Cantabry.

baton of the proceedings and its friend
ship for this government.
