Doc. 69.-accident to the Mississippi. Commander Glisson's report, United States steamer Mount Vernon, off Wilmington, N. C., March 1, 1862. sir: I have to report to you that yesterday I discovered a vessel to the southward and eastward at eleven A. M. I got under weigh and stood for her, and soon discovered her to be a vessel on shore, on the Frying-Pan shoals. On a nearer approach she proved to be a large steamer with her American ensign down. We were soon boarded by a boat conrumental in saving the noble ship, with her large number of passengers. It also affords me much gratification to have to inform you that every officer and man under my command exerted himself to his utmost abilities in this noble cause. The damage and loss sustained by this vessel is trivial, when compared with the saving of the lives of fourteen hundred persons who were on board the Mississippi. Your obedient servant, O. S. Glisson, Commander U. S. Navy. Flag-Officer L. M. Goldsborough.
