The Cruise of the Alabama and the Sumter

CHAPTER VII
18/51

It is reported that the Iroquois sailed from Trinidad on the 2nd November, and that there are three ships of war of the enemy at St.Thomas', one sail vessel, and two steamers; and that one of these was expected here last night.

She has not yet made her appearance.

At 2.30 P.M.the steam-sloop Iroquois of the enemy made her appearance, coming round the north end of the island.

She had at first Danish colours flying, but soon changed them for her own.
