| The Mobile Evening News, of the 3d inst, says: |
| We have conversed with a gentleman who
witnessed the capture of some of the vessels named below, whose account
is that on last Sunday week a craft, supposed to be the captured
schooner Aid, ran the schooners John Arthur, Major Rainey, Pelican and
California into Biloxi, and captured the Fanny, loaded with railroad
iron for Mobile the Olive Branch, with naval stores for New Orleans,
Basalide with brick for Fort Gaines one with salt and hay, and another
with railroad iron for Mobile, and one or two more not distinctly
remembered also a Mexican schooner with flour for a Mexican port. We had
heard of this last capture before, but our information has been
questioned. It now seems that it was correct. |
