They assert that they weie threatened and forced to silence by the captain. They were engaged at Cardiff for three years, and went to the Brazills for a cargo of coffee, which was sold at the Cape for £15,000. The name ot the vessel was twice changed. From the Cape she proceeded to A 4 auritus, and from there to this port, where the captain endeavoured to sell the vessel. It was proved that her papers were forged.
