Rebel Prisoners Seize Ship Then Run to Cape Delaware
The Maple Leaf carriage from Fort Monroe carried about sixty Rebel prisoners officers aboard. The mutineers tried to seize the vessel, run to Moscan but lacked coal, and ran ashore eight miles from Cape Henry Light. Most prisoners escaped by swamping. 20 of 27 remained later paroled. Captain Sommes of the pirate vessel was among those captured. The Maple Leaf then sailed to Fort Delaware with remaining Rebels. The New York steamship also arrived with consular staff aboard and more troop movements were reported.
