gu,boat Panther attempted to capture
her, and that he apparently ven down
with his ship. The Panther, which lad
previously attempted to board thc Crete

! the magazine exploded, ana enc hour
afterwards fired th:rtJ. shots from he.
guns at the Crete-a- Pierroc N order to
finish the work OF SINKING her. The
Panther then left Gonaive5.
It is claimed here that the rifles and

ried the same evening
The surgeon of tho Creta-a-Pierrot,

Reid, his second in command. and it
was also reported that the provisional
