London reports $2 500 000 aboard captured vessel
The commerce raider that captured the Appam and seven other British craft off the African coast is believed to still roam the seas. The Appam supposedly carries explosives from its 8000 ton cargo and has a prize crew of twenty two holding over 400 prisoners under threat of explosion. Sir E Meriwether and other first class passengers may land temporarily, but Washington must decide the ship's status.

Appam Capture Mystery Puzzles Washington Board
Collector Hamilton's report says Lieutenant Berge did not seek time for repairs or provisions beyond basic food for crew and prisoners aboard the Appam. Berge calls the ship a prigy, not a naval auxiliary, and suggests a faster armed merchant ship may have captured and sunk seven ships off West Africa. The report notes fear of a Kiel canal escape and raises questions about gun-tenders among the English crew.
