OF Capt. Hubbells fate
The Globe-republican., 1896-02-20
He Was BETRAYED.

The tragic fate of Capt. Wilson Huh
bell, commander of trading vesse,
during the French war with the United
States in 1898, is recorded by the his
torian of Stratford, Conn. While re-
turning with cargo of molasses from
the West Indies, Capt. Hubbells ship
was Overtaken and captured BY g
French privateer. A prize-master and
two French seamen were put on board
the captured ship and the privateer
sailed away in pursuit of other ad-
venture. Only Capt. Hubbell, one sea-
man and the cook were left on board
the trading vessel.
Although seemingly resigned to his
fate, the captain felt his situation keen
" and determined in some way to re-
cover control of his ship. He made no
show of disappointment but assumed
rather an air Of stupid Indifference and
the French prize-master looked upon
his notice. and permitted him consider
able liberty. The cook and seaman were
required to work, hence they were un-
restrained.
On the second afternoon out the
prize-master retired to the cabin, where
he remained for some time. The cook
contrived to get near the door and peep
in through a crack. The Frenchman
lay asleep, his sword and pistols on the
floor beside him.
The cook fastened to inform Capt.
Hubbell, who quietly made his way to
the cabin and a few minutes later the
Frenchman awoke to find himself a
prisoner. 1t was not difficult then to
secure the two French seamen and
Cant. Hubbell was once more in COM
mand of his vessel.

Captured jefferson Davis.

George Munger, formerly corporal
in the Fourth Michigan cavalry, enjoys
the distinction of being the man who
arrested Jefferson Davis. when the de-
feated president of the Confederacy
was trying to escape at the close OF the
war. This important capture has sew
eral times been credited to Captain
William P. Steadman. but the facts in
the matter are as follows: President
Lincoln, when it was known the Con-
federate government had evacuated
Richmond, offered reward Of 100000
for the capture of Jefferson Davis. All
available troops in the neighborhood OF
his supposed route were thrown for
ward in pursuit. On the morning Of
May II, 1865, detachments of the Fourth
Michigan cavalry reached the little
camp Of the fugutives. 1t was in the
pine woods about ~ miles from IT.
winsville, Ca. Just at daybreak Cap
tain LawtC1i and about dozen troopers
walked their horses to the edge of the
woods, and then dashed up TO the tents.
No one was in sight, except a negro.
who led Mr.. Davis horse, saddled and
ready for flight. In moment Mr.. Da-
Wis and his wife came out of q little
wall tent at the side of the road. Davis
wore a wOman's waterproof cloak, and
had a wOman's shawl thrown over his
head. He started down the road.
Seeming to be an cid woman, he was
allowed to pass, but Corporal George
Munger quickly observed that he wore
boots, and galloped after him, hating
him and leveling his carbine.
Davis surrendered. Later Davis
himself said he had taken the
