LUCK OF THE LAURADA
Her
Last Voyage Fraught
With Adyenture.
A SPANISH SPY AMONG THE CREW
3 Made a Futile Attempt to Wreck
the Vessel Tlie Captain
Then Arrested.
Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 6. (Delayed
in transmission) All circumstances
point to the fact that on her last voyage
the steamer Laurada included among
her crew a Spanish agent and . spy. So
far as known here bis identity has not
been discovered. That the Laurada car
ried a filibustering expedition to Cuba
on this trip seenoB to be beyond all
doubt, although there will probably be
great difficulty in proving the fact, for
the Spanish spy, who, it is now well
known was on board, will hardly care to
reveal himself in the witness box. -If
the party is known no' action will be
taken against him and be will not be
disposed to " carry out to the end the
part be has been playiDg as a hired
spy. '
The explanation is . simply that this
man attempted to wreck the veesel, or,
should he appear to swear to the infor-
- mation he possesses regarding the fili
bustering part of the voyage, he Will
bave to face a charge on this count, per
contra.. If his identity has really been
ascertained no legal action will be taken
against him, as that might beg the qu.es
tion as to his "possible testimony
about the landing of the biggest fili
bustering expedition of modern times
The facts in eonnectfon with the
stranding of the steamship 'at Port An-
tonio', so far as the correspondent could
ascertain, is that npon the arrival of the
Laurada at Port Antonio, some, person
gave information to the customs author
ities that she bad been engaged in a fill
bustering expedition and that there was
a large qnahtity of rifles still on boord,
which had not. been landed, but whicb.
would be put ashore on the return voy
age. The ship was searched before she
proceeded to the oatport to take on her
cargo of truit, but the arms were not
Tfonnd. The informant thereupon' se
cretly promised one of the customs offi
cers that on the vessel's return from the
outport he would find means to discover
the place in which be was convinced
Captain Murphy had concealed the
arms, since they had not "left the
vessel. ..." '
On the night of the first instant, as
the Laurada was entering Port 'Antonio
and the Lama was going 'out, the two
vessels passing in the deep but intricate
channel, the L'aurada had to veer to
make wayof an, outward-bound ship
At. the critical moment, and- with
strong current running, the steering gear
-of the Laurada gave way. At that mo
ment the probable effect of the break
down would have been to throw the
Laurada across the- Lama's -bow and
bring about a collision that would bave
sent the former to the bottom. . As it
happened, the current was swifter than
the Lama and the Laurada escaped the
latter's prow and was swept on the reef,
By a singular piece, of good luck, she
struck the one spot on the entire length
of the reef where she could have Btruck
without having her bottom knocked out,
Of coarse, to all outward seeming, the
whole thing bad the appearance of being
an accident. But it was an accident
. that : bids ' fair to end the days of the
Laurada. She was placed between col
lision and being smashed on the coral
. reef, but escaped both, and gently lay
' her nose into a little bed of soft sand
She bad to be lightened to get her off,
and this fact indicates the agency of
some deliberate intent, for through it
the unknown informer was enabled to
keep his word, a quantity of 'rifles hav
ing been found on the vessel Ihjs time,
The result was that Captain Murphy
was promptly called up before the rest
dent magistrate and although the
Laurada was so slightly damaged by her
contact with the reef, that she was able
to proceed at once on her vovaee. Can
tain Murphy had to provide recognizance
before he. could leave the ielaud.. He
made a cash deposit of 300 to aDDea
on the 29th inst. to answer the charge of
conveying contrabands ol -war and was
allowed to sail.
