Convict Escape Aboard Brig Albatross Endangers Voyage
Discharged at Georgetown from the brig Albatross, a party of ten Cayenne convicts escaped to a yacht. After 220 miles westward a fight ensued as the convoy tried to fend them off. Captain Roth was killed, a chief officer wounded, and the brig captured. The convicts planned to use the brig to flee toward the Amazon, with two crewmen held as hostages while others were kept under surveillance.
