Arrest on the Cleveland and Detroit steamer May Queen
A man and a woman, about sixty years old, were seized in a quiet port arrest by a Michigan US Marshal after trunks were searched aboard the May Queen. Authorities found contraband arms and percussion caps, with travelers believed to be fleeing Confederate authorities via Montreal and Detroit toward Missouri. The pair, alleged rebels, were held for transfer to Boston en route to Fort Warren.
