The Daily Dispatch: April 19, 1861., [Electronic resource], The bombardment of Sumter. (search)
es were not penetrated by the balls which awaited the order for their mission of destruction, does not diminish the importance of the service rendered by the intrepid spirits in the fire-ships. They performed the dangerous duty well and faithfully. Through the live-long night they fed the flames, and kept watch for the expected foe. It is manifest that this service was one of extreme peril. The vessels were anchored within a few hundred yards of the hostile fortification, and at any moment the useful flames might have been quenched. But there they rode through that wild night, their gallant crews glorying in the hazardous duty, and prepared to sacrifice their lives at the call of their State. The following names compose the company that performed this honorable service: Colonel E. L. Yates, Lieut. Thos. G. Dozier, late U.S. Navy, now of the Confederate States Navy; First Assistant Engineer C. W. Geddis, of the Confederate States Navy; H. L. P. McCormick, and Mr. Lacoste.
