The escape of the "290" was known in New York, but that she would develop in so short a time mto the pest of the Atlantic was not thought of. The tactics of Captain Semmes were always the same. A false flag was invariably used until the victim got within striking distance, and tlien hauled down, to be replaced by the stars and bars. For this purpose flags of various nations were used — French, Spanish, Portu- guese and the like, and often tiiat of the United States; but the one most frequently ...employed was that of Great Britain.
Digitized by VjrOOQlC 56 BURNING THE The crew of the Alabama taken as a whole were a turbulent lot. Boarding officers had little or no control over their boats' crews. Knowing that the guns of the Alabama would answer for their safety, they would rush below like a gang of pirates, staving open chests and boxes and carrying off anything that took their fancy. The clothing and personal effects of sailors were often heartlessly destroyed After being trans- ferred to the Alabama,* however, the prisoners were comparatively free from this sort of perse- cution ; and with the exception of being placed in irons^ their treatment seems to have been as good as circumstances permitted.
