Cochran and the O'Higgins

In december 18 19, cochran picked up intelligence that the forts were expecting three spanish ships any day now. And so he sailed down with three ships of his own, hoisted the spanish flag and waited for a pilot to come out from shore to navigate him through the treach s harbor. This guy was, of course, seized. And then cochran sailed away, much to the bewilderment of the sp Spanish soldiers manning the forts who still thought the vessels were their comrades.
