s demanded the surrender of the Florida. her commander and half his crew were ashore, and the Lieutenant in charge, having no choice, complied. The pirate ship was instantly boarded, and lashed to the Wachusett, when the latter put to sea under a full head of steam, towing her prize, unmindful of a challenge by the Brazilian fleet, and unharmed by shots from the Bahian fort. Captor and prize soon appeared in Hampton Roads; and not long afterward the Florida was sunk while lying off Newport-Newce. the capture of the Florida produced much excitement. It was brought to the notice of the Government of the United States by the Brazilian minister at Washington in the form of a protest, with the assumption that the rebels were lawful belligerents, and that the Florida was one of their vessels of war. The Government disavowed the act of its agents in the Port of Bahia as a violation of neutrality laws and the rights of Brazil, and Consul Wilson, known to have been implicated in the capt

the surnames of Captain Christopher Newport and Captain Thomas Newce are said to have furnished the component one of Newport Newce, now corrupted into Newport News. As Captain Newport left the colony of Virginia in the autumn of 1611, never to rt's News is orthographically incorrect, and is but a corruption of what I assert is the true and original name, i. e. Newport Newce. I hardly ever saw an argument or an attempted argument that exhibited a more striking illustration than this one or neither the records nor tradition give any countenance to the idea that the name Newport's News was originally Newport-Newce.
