The Enquirer

Nassau, (N. P.) Oct. 14.

Six of my crew, claimed as British subjects, were this day taken out of jail, and put on board his majesty's brig the Sappho, and sailed for Jamaica, where, 'tis said, they are to be tried for their lives. In consequence of this, I questioned each respectively as to the place of his nativity, and his title to protection by the American government, when they stated as follows--to wit:

David Dick (seaman) says, he was born in Marblehead, state of Massachusetts, where his parents, brothers and sisters now reside; is married in New York, and his wife (Mary Gaul) lives in Roosevelt-street, No 82; has a regular discharge from the navy of the U. S. by capt. Hugh G. Campbell, dated at St. Mary's, Georgia, 14th August, 1812. Says he has served on board the U. S. brig Vixen, and gun-boat No 10 and 159, from the last of which he was discharged. Is 27 years of age; about 5 feet 7 inches high; brown hair; light complexion; entered on board the Sarah-Ann at Savannah.

Michael Pluck (ord. seaman) says he was born in Baltimore. His parents are dead; but he is known by William Doulan, Thomas Turner, and M'Donald, all of Baltimore. He has a sister, in some part of Pennsylvania, whose name is Ann Welsh. Was never at sea before; never had a protection; is 26 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches high; a scar on his left cheek bone. Entered on board the Sarah Ann at Baltimore.

Thomas Rogers (seaman) says he was born in Waterford in Ireland; but has resided many years in the United States has been duly naturalized and a copy of his naturalization is filed in the custom house at Baltimore; has a wife and three children in Baltimore, and is known there by Joseph Carey and John Rogers, the cork cutter on the Causeway, has lost his protection, but requests Joseph Carey to do all he can to effect his discharge from the British--Rogers entered on board the Sarah Ann in Baltimore.

George Roberts, (a colored man and seaman). This man I had not an opportunity of questioning; but I know him to be a native born citizen of the United States and of which fact he had every sufficient document, together with free papers. He entered on board the Sarah Ann at Baltimore where he is married.

Sully Taylor (boy) says he was born in Hackensack, in New Jersey, but has neither friends, relations, nor acquaintances there; Sarah Jane Lowden, of Savannah, Geo. is his mother. Never had a protection--is 15 years old--has brown hair and light complexion--entered on board the Sarah Ann at Savannah.
