Searsport (Maine, United States) (search for this): article 9
this time had accumulated to the number of twenty-one, and as they could not be confined, fears were entertained that they might give trouble, if not overpower the force on board the brig at some opportune moment; twelve of them--nine officers and three boys — were accordingly transferred to the Goodell, and that ship set sail about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The brig Mary E. Thompson. While the privateer was engaged with the Goodell, the brig Mary E. Thompson, Capt. Havoner, of Searsport, from Bangor to Antigua, West Indies, on a trading voyage, with lumber, hove in sight and bore down upon them, supposing the brig in distress and the ship supplying her with water and provisions. On approaching she was brought to by the privateer's gun and boarded by the rebel officers from the Goodell. She was immediately taken possession of, but not being deemed desirable as a prize, and as she afforded another opportunity to dispose of some of the extra prisoners, she was also relinqu

She is 192 tons, rates A 2, and is owned by the captain and others. She belongs to Boston. Like the Dunning, she left Cienfuegos for this city. The Herald also devotes several columns to the privateer "Jeff. Davis," whose prizes are valued at $225,000." This trim little craft has had the audacity, it seems, to run way up amongst the Nantucket Shoals, and has of course created much excitement among the Yankees on that coast. The Herald's Newport correspondent gives t

Privateering. Our correspondent at Havana announces the arrival at Cienfuegos of the Sumter, a steamer of the rebel navy, bringing six prizes, the result of a short predatory cruise. A seventh had been burnt at sea. This Sumter was in other times a mail steamer, plying between Havana and New Orleans, with the title Havana; but seized by the rebel Government, she was converted into a man-of-war, and well armed and manned, put to sea the other day from New Orleans, in saucy defiance of what the journals of that city properly describe as the paper blockade. The news of her departure has Barely reached us when it is hotly pursued by this latter news of her success. It is true the insular authorities have reclaimed the six prizes, because they had been captured within Spanish waters; but the fact of seizure shows the power for mischief possessed by the cruiser in question, and renders it almost certain that if any of these released vessels hereafter depart for their ports of destin

eing that resistance was useless — and in half an hour afterwards, her commander, with his little boy six years old, and the first and second mates, were sent prisoners on board the brig. Her provisions, stores, supplies, papers, and other valuables, were also transferred to the brig, which then detailed a prize master and crew to take charge of her. Three of the original crew, two seamen and the cock, were kept on board. The prize master said he intended to take her, if possible, into Beaufort, N. C. She set sail about two o'clock in the afternoon. The Waring, with her cargo, is valued at $100,000. The schooner Enchantress The brig resumed her voyage, keeping still to the Northeast, and on the next morning, Monday, July 8, a schooner was discovered to the windward, both vessels being at the time about 150 miles Southeast of Nantucket. As before, the French flag was hoisted, though during the subsequent capture the rebel flag was not at all displayed. The schooner b

en while she was in the hands of the rebel crew not to disturb her cargo. If she reaches any Southern port in safety, she will prove a rich prize to the rebels, as her value, ship and cargo, is estimated to be worth $75,000. A number of the subsequent captures alleged to have been made by the bold privateer are described by the Herald, a portion of which we copy: On Sunday afternoon, July 7, when about two hundred miles Southeast of Nantucket, a schooner was discovered standing Southwest. Sail was made for her, and when within a quarter of a mile, the rebel vessel hoisted the French flag, and fired a gun across her bows. She immediately have to, and proved to be the schooner S. J.
