Letter
Francis C. Barlow to Ebenezer R. Hoar, June 29, 1869
[Inclosure No. 1.]
Mr. Barlow, United States marshal, to Mr. Hoar, Attorney-General.
[Telegram.]
New York City, June 29, 1869.
To the Attorney-General:
Three tugs, two schooners, and a sloop left Gardner’s Point this morning at 5 a.m. They had been notified of the seizure of the Whiting.
[76] It is impossible that they should attempt to go to Cuba in their present vessels; *probably they will run down the coast to some port to wait for another steamer. I think the cutters at Philadelphia, and at all points on the coast, should be ordered to put out and look for them. Also the Newport and New Bedford authorities should be notified. They will try to get a steamer at some other port. I should like to be informed of what orders may be given.
FRANCIS. C. BARLOW.
