Turcos Who Are Fighting in the French Army
The St. Nicholas, a Baltimore Washington steamer, was captured near the Potomac estuary by Col. Thomas and Capt. Hollins in a staged French disguise. They seized the vessel with a pretend New York Zouave unit, took prisoners, and tried to ambush the Pawnee, later releasing prisoners and steering toward the Chesapeake. The plan unraveled after failed hunting of the target, prompting a retreat and an oceanward voyage.
