Flusser, she was active in Carolina waters. In the Roanoke River, April 1, 1864, she met her most thrilling adventure when she and the Southfield were attacked by the powerful Confederate ram Albemarle. The Southfield was sunk, but the Miami in a plucky running fight made her escape down the river and gave the alarm. After a shooting-trip ashore — officers on the deck of the Miami An indefatigable gunboat — the Miami eagerness to see what damage had been inflicted, a man crawled out of a hatch on the sloping topsi
