About four years since, it will be recollected by some, that the master of an
American whale ship by the name of Rogers,
made himself notorious in this community by
heading a company of officers and seamen,
and marching through the streets. The native police were compelled to flee. The following day ho was fined $99 70. Alter returning to the United States, being unable to
obtain a vessel, he went to Europe and shipped as a whaling master. He drew $1,000
on the owners and then fled to England. He
was pursued and taken to Bremen, where,
according to last reports, he was in prison.
