SummaryResumen

A small black steamer with her name painted out arrived at Staten Island on Thursday night and was identified as the former fishing steamer Novelty, renamed Mercedes and cleared for Samana. George Bowman told a reporter he had sold her to the Haitian Consul of New York and that she was bound for Samana, in Santo Domingo, to be used as a gunboat under the Dominican flag, while Captain Terry laughed off suggestions of guns aboard or blockade-running; the crew, a motley crowd who were not seamen, had been hired only to take the vessel down and return as passengers.

Un pequeño vapor negro con el nombre borrado a pintura llegó a Staten Island el jueves por la noche y fue identificado como el antiguo vapor pesquero Novelty, rebautizado Mercedes y despachado para Samaná. George Bowman dijo a un reportero que la había vendido al cónsul haitiano de Nueva York y que iba rumbo a Samaná, en Santo Domingo, para ser usada como cañonera bajo la bandera dominicana, mientras el capitán Terry se reía de las insinuaciones de que hubiera cañones a bordo o de que fuera a forzar un bloqueo; la tripulación, una multitud abigarrada que no era gente de mar, había sido contratada solo para llevar el barco y regresar como pasajeros.
