The famous pirate, La Cata, was captured, off the Isle of Pines, about

the 1st of March, 1823, by the British cutter Grecian, after a smart

action. The cutter had 50 men—the pirate 100, and 8 guns; it was

believed that about 30 of the crew of the latter were killed, but only

three prisoners were made, the rest making their escape on shore.

Considerable quantities of goods were found on board the prize.

The Grecian conveyed the prisoners to Jamaica, where, it seems, there is

more law to reach cases of piracy than in the United States.
