9 Apr 1830 Captain Thomas Gill, the commanding officer of the Sparrowhawk, detained the Spanish slave schooner Santiago, aka St. Jago, 43 tons, with 108 slaves. Having put on board a prize crew of 4 men under the prize master, Robert B. Miller, Capt. Gill set sail for Jamaica. The following day 3� feet of water was discovered the hold, and by the 22nd Mr. Miller was worried that the vessel was going to pieces and he was looking for somewhere to run the vessel ashore, 2 of his men having gone down with fever. Having failed to make it ashore on Cape San Antonio H.M. Sloop Slaney, Commander Charles Parker, hove in sight with the Lord Bishop of Jamaica on board, returning from a pastoral visit to Honduras. The ship's position at this time was lat. 22� 30' N., long. 85� 30' W. The First Lieutenant and the Carpenter, William Brown, were sent on board to report on the state of the Santiago, and by the 24th it was reported that there was 6 feet of water in the hold and she was in a sinking state, and should be abandoned. The Prize crew and 107 negroes were therefore transferred to the Slavey, which then set sail for Havana, arriving on the 27th. From now on the activity moved ashore as the Joint British and Spanish Commission swung into action to resolve the problems left by the Sparrowhawk departing from the scene of her capture so swiftly and without leaving the witnesses required in accordance with the Treaty for the Commission to condemn the long lost Santiago and legally emancipate the slaves.
