Speaking of the crew, our sailor au-

the Azores and began her work a few
days later by taking the American
whaler Ocmulgee on September 5.
The Ocmulgee was homeward bound
after forty months cruise and was
laden with a cargo of oil. Her skipper
had heard nothing about the outbreak
OF hosti!ties and he was dumfounded
both by the news and the untimely end

set fire to the whaler and sailed away
for other game OF the same sort.
Before week had passed the Ala

whalers. and her prisoners became Sc
numerous that they had to be housed
on the main deck under a temporary
shelter rugged up out OF spare spars and
trysail. Again on September 10 a
large schooner was made a prize, and
after removing her crew Semmes de-
