Dessalines was there. L did not hear of
any trouble. We sailed from Port au
Prince on the 9TH, and two days later we
passed Fortune Island in the day time and
saw no sign Of the Natalie"
Further information was procured from a

any news of the captain of the Natalie he
replied: when 1 was at Port au Prince
on the 5th of this month. the second officer

INTO the hotel where / was and i had a
conversation with him. He said that
couple OF days previous they, the Haytian
officers from the Dessalines and Capoix,
had boarded the yacht Natalie. which was
lying off Fortune Island. and searched for
her papers, but could find none.
We were aware said he that she was
loaded with guns and ammunition, but as
she was not in Haytian waters, we had no
power 10 capture her. We learned that her
captain, COrsican named Salina had
abandoned her and skipped to Jamaica,
leaving an officer in charge We made an

cargo. and the amount we mentioned was
