The yacht Deerhound, lately captured off the coast of Spain, 1873. 'The Government have caught an English yacht carrying arms for the Carlists, the Deerhound, the same steamer which successfully effected a landing of arms for them on the 28th July. The capture occurred off Fontarabia. A despatch from Paris states that a most careful investigation into the circumstances of the capture of the Deerhound by the Spanish navy shows that it was effected at a distance of eight miles from the French coast, and therefore entirely beyond French waters'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
