But American commerce, which, as the reader has seen, had fled this beaten track before we left for the East Indies, had not returned to it. The few ships of the enemy that passed, still gave the Cape a wide berth, and winged their flight homeward over the by-ways, instead of the highways of the ocean. We found the coast clear again of the enemy's cruisers. That huge old coal-box, the Vanderbilt, having thought it useless to pursue us farther, had turned back, and was now probably doing a more profitable business, by picking up bockade-runners on the American coast. This operation paid—the captain might grow rich upon it. Chasing the Alabama did not. Finding that it was useless for us to cruise longer off the Cape, we ran into Cape Town, and came to anchor at half-past 4, on the afternoon of the 20th of March. We had gone to sea from Simon's Town, on our way to the East Indies, on the 24th of the preceding September,— our cruise had thus lasted within a day or two of six mont
Chapter 53: The Alabama at the Cape of Good Hope leaves on her return to Europe capture of the Rockingham and of the Tycoon crosses the equator into the Northern hemisphere, and arrives and anchors at Cherbourg on the 11th of June, 1864 the combat between the Alabama and the Kearsarge. We entered Table Bay on the 20th of March, and on the next day we had the usual equinoctial gale. The wind was from the south-east, and blew very heavily for twenty-four hours. We let go a second anchor, and veered to ninety fathoms on the riding-chain. The usual phenomena accompanied this south-east gale, viz., a clear sky and a high barometer. The D—l kept his table-cloth spread on the top of the mountain during the whole of the gale, and it was wonderful to watch the unvarying size and shape of this fleecy cloud, every particle of which was being changed from moment to moment. Some boats visited us, notwithstanding the gale, and brought us off some of the delightful grapes and
Boynton's Sherman's Historical Raid, pp. 33, 84, for further extracts from official records. But Generals Sherman and Prentiss were not the only commanding officers surprised by Beauregard's foolish attack. Generals Halleck, Grant, and Buell seem to have been equally unprepared for his sudden onslaught. General Buell, with five divisions of his army, well organized and fully equipped, numbering at least thirty-seven thousand men of all arms, had left Nashville from the 15th to the 20th of March, to form a junction at his leisure with Grant at Savannah, via Columbia, Mount Pleasant, and Waynesboro. He was delayed several days at Columbia by high water in Duck River, the bridge having been destroyed by the Confederates. While there he first heard, on or about the 29th of March, that Grant's army had moved to Pittsburg Landing, on the left bank of the Tennessee River. General Buell resumed his march on the 31st, intending—having obtained the approval of General Halleck—to stop f

Van Dorn, on his way to Pocahontas, care of Captain I. Adams, Memphis: Too late for movement on New Madrid, which is in possession of enemy; but if, at any time, you can join your forces with mine, it will be best to do so. G. T. Beauregard. Steamer Prince, six miles below Tiptonville, March 20th, 1 P. M. Col. T. Jordan: Colonel,—I could not get to Tipton by the route I tried this morning. I shall try the swamp in the morning. I shall try to open communication by laud; have not heard from General Walker to-day. I shall also try to put boats at the ford or fords on the lake. I fear the result. Put Fort Pillow to fighting order and reinforce me if you can. J. P. McCown. Jackson, Tenn., March 21st. Brig.-Genl. J. P. McCown, care Col. Pickett, Union City: Even if enemy ef
had been demoralized. Johnston's Narrative of Military Operations, p. 383. General Hardee, now fearing an attempt to turn his left, and knowing his incapacity to resist the odds against him, fell back, in the night, towards Smithfield. On the day of this occurrence, and with a view to avoid all misunderstanding among subordinate commanders, General Beauregard was officially announced as second in command to General Johnston. The latter's telegrams to General Beauregard, dated March 20th, 21st, and 23d, speak of the encounter with the enemy at Bentonville, and give the various incidents of that fight—the last of the war, in the east—and one which was much to the honor of the Confederates. Taking advantage of the fact that General Sherman's left wing was at some distance from the right, General Johnston, on the morning of the 19th, determined to strike a blow while he had the chance to do so. Of that determination, and of the manner in which it was carried out, General She
