CHAPTER VI
10/19

Two sail in one day! 8.30 A.M.A sail was descried in the S.E.

We immediately gave chase with all sail, and added steam to sails in about an hour and a half.

We came up with the chase about 3 P.M.; the vessel proving very fast.

We showed, as usual, the United States colours, the chase showing the same.

Fired a blank cartridge and ordered him to heave-to.
