WHEREAS a libel hath been filed in the District Court of the U. States for said distiict, by George Read, Jun Esq. proctor for the li bellantE, in the words following, to wit : To the hon. John Fisher. Esq. Judge of the District Court of the United Slates, in and for the Delaware District, THE libel of Robert H. Howard and Rich ard Bcbee, Pilots, of Lewestown, in the Del aware District, humbly sheweth, That on Thursday, the present month, July the tenth, about 9 o'clock in* the morning, the said Robert H. Howard and Richard Bebee, being on board the Pilot Boat Elizabeth, pursu mg their business and occupation as Pilots, they discovered a schoonci off Indian River, steering about a north course, àpjjçn which they bore down for her, found bttraSlip a vessel of about twenty tons burthen, and upon hailing her, were answered, she was from New Orleans & bound to New York. That the said Robert H Howard and Richard Bebee supplied them with some fish, and found her crew to consist of four men, apparently Americans, one of whom who seemed to act as captain or commander, wished the said Robert and Richard to put them on shore with their tru-ks, declaring an intention of abandon.ng the vessel, and offered the said Robert and Richard five thousand dollars to perform that service, which they altogether declined, and refused to do—that the said Ro Pilot Boat the ;nti Richard then got th« gof'^v underway, and stoou a», rectly in ner wake—that the Pilot Boat above mentioned came to anchor at the point of the Cape inside, and the schooner did within about two hundred yards higher up the bay—that the said Robert H. Howard and Richard Helv e \''ent on board the said schooner in the Skiff', to demand payment for piloting -hem, as they hud done by their pursuing the track'f the-aid Pilot Boat, to '.he anc.Hor.ige withift Cape May—that upon reaching the schooner, the captain, or person in command, offered sixty dollars foif the Skiff, which they refused on any terms to sell ; and also refused as reqties'cd by the said captain, said Skiff to one or any of certain Fishing Smacks which were laying at anchor at no great distance from the said schooner, to ask "f them to take i board the crew of the said schooner. One ot ine said crew and the said captain, there up » took the said S' iff' and rowed to a fishing •m ack which lay at anchor four or five hue dr-, d yards above the said schooner, and imme diutely returning told their comrades that the fi hing smack would take them and their trunks for twenty dollars each ; the said crew then put into the skiff'five trunks, ami three of then rowed oft' to the fishing smack, where one ui them remained with the trunks and the other : wo returned in the skiff to the schooner, and here collecting some other small articles, de clared their intention of scuukng the schooner, from which they were only prevented by the peraasion of the said Richard Bebee—that after putting the last mentioned articles into the skiff*, the three men now remaining of tht^ crew, on board the schooner, got on boardj the skiff', and declaring that after she had answered their purpose, they would turn her adrift, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the said Robert H. Howard and Richard Bebee—the said Richard Bebee as she was pushing off' jumped cm board, determined to incur the hazard ot saving the skiff'—that three of the crew, (Richard Bebee persisting in re maining in the skill) rowed the said skill to the fishing smack, where, taking out what they had put into her, and leaving her themselves, they turned her adrift—that the said Richard Bebee succeeded in regaining the said schooner, about 6 o'clock P. M. which was now entirely aban doned and derelict by the said crew, no person now being on board but the said Robert H Howard, and the said Richard Bebee, and there being no name on the Schooner, nor papers, nor any thing to lead even to a supposition of the true character of the vessel hert :>ci ■ to 1H the same, - a row in the her real owners—that the appearance of the weather being then very unpromising, and but two indi viduals left to- work the said Pilot boat, and to attempt the difficult task of saving the said schooner, the said Robctt H. Howard and Riehard Bebee removed for greater safety some articles, to wit : Dry Goods, from the schooner to the Pilot B*»at, and about A o'clock, A M. ot Friday the 11th i drizzling, got under way for Lewestown Creek, where they arrived about 7 o'clock the same day, and leaving a person employed lor that purpose to oversee the vessels, they proceeded to inform the Inspector at Lewes of the whole transaction Louis West, the said Inspector, advised putting back the articles they had removed, into the schooner, from the Pilot Boat, the wind E.
