INCIDENTS OF THE BLOCKADE

While a dispatch boat was steaming

Monday morning a strange derelict was

used instead. There was some water in
the schooner's hold. but evidently no at
tempt had been made to scuttle her. AT
the stern of the fish deck lay two big
augers, brand new. and an AK. The cab
in was deserted and cleared out. The
water casks on board were empty. The
starboard anchor hung at it's hawser hole
and the port anchor lay on the deck
From the bowsprit hung a broken hawser
and across the bowsprit lay the jib
The fact that the masts had been re-
Gently cut away showed that the Con-
suela had not been wrecked and the
presumption arose that her condition was
the result of a Spanish scheme to harm
some of the American ships Should one
of the smaller craft on the blockade run
against the heavily loaded schooner It
would go hard with her. The boat might
have been set adrift for. this purpose or
the Matanzas garrison may have intended

Spaniards were forced to flee suddenly
from her on the near approach of one of
our ships. MAJ

as contraband of war. the crew of the
