each A fighting inventor rear-admiral John A. Dahlgren on board the U. S. S. Pawnee in Charleston harbor Over the admiral's right shoulder can be seen the ruins of the still unsurrendered Fortnder in active service. Not only did he bravely and wisely direct the naval activities in Charleston Harbor, but in February, 1864, he led the naval expedition up the St. John's River that was to coiers from Fort Monroe, in the Brooklyn. The Star of the West made a feeble effort to enter Charleston Harbor. She was fired upon, and seeing no colors hoisted at Sumter or sign of assistance from th diplomacy was far from their minds and they were ordinary trippers seeing the sights Charleston Harbor would have been permanently in the hands of the Federal authorities.

e younger men have no look of the volunteer about them; they are deep-sea sailors, every one. The Wissahickon was one of the Federal cruisers that had put out in search of the Confederate commerce-destroyers. She was in the fleet of Admiral Farragut at New Orleans and ran the batteries at Vicksburg. Late in 1862 she was in Carolina waters and in January, 1863, participated in the first attacks on Fort McAllister. She was in Admiral Dahlgren's fleet during the stirring operations in Charleston harbor and returned to South Carolina waters toward the close of 1864, where she captured numerous prizes, enriching her officers and crew. The sailors on few of the Federal vessels had a more varied and adventurous experience of the war than did those of the Wissahickon, and the faces in the picture, both old and young, are those of men ready at any and all times for a fight or a frolic on their beloved ship. The old navy--three veterans of the line: Santee, constitution, and MacEDONIA

armament precluded them from any close or lengthy action with land batteries that possessed heavier guns. The sloop-of-war The Pawnee The quarterdeck and starboard battery of U. S. S. Pawnee appear here from photographs taken in Charleston Harbor. Here on the morning of April 12, 1861, officers and crew watched in an agony of suspense the pitiless iron rain that fell upon Sumter in the bombardment that began the Civil War. The Pawnee, the Pocohontas, the Harriet Lane, and the Baltic, together with two tugs, had sailed from New York with provisions and reinforcements for Major Anderson's little garrison. As the vessels approached Charleston Harbor, before daylight of April 12th, they heard the boom of shotted guns; and in the gray dawn, smoke rose sullenly in the direction of Sumter. When daylight disclosed the Stars and Stripes still waving over the fort, amid the roar of heavy artillery, Commander Stephen Clegg Rowan, of the Pawnee, immediately volunteered to run his

The coast of the Carolinas, before the war was over, was strewn with just such sights as this. The bones of former greyhounds became landmarks by's command was brief but full of stirring events and brilliant deeds. The Confederacy, though tottering, was fighting tenaciously.

The following year, under Commander A. C. Rhind, she was with the fleet of Rear-Admiral Dahlgren, which captured Fort Wagner on Morris Island in Charleston Harbor, July 18th.

ter-vessels, ran first under fire in the attack made upon Fort Sumter and the batteries in Charleston Harbor by Rear-Admiral Du Pont in April, 1863. In June, she and the Nahant were blockading the m much more buoyant; yet I have seen the time when we were glad to get under a lee, even in Charleston Harbor. The Merrimac, with but a few days' stores on board, drew twenty-two and one-half feet of Rear-Admiral Dahlgren's flag floating above her, the Catskill steamed across the bar into Charleston Harbor and opened fire on Fort Wagner on Morris Island. She was followed by the Montauk, Nahant, and Weehawken, and immediately all the Confederate batteries in Charleston Harbor spoke out their terrific thunder. The Catskill was no stranger to that battle-ground; she had seen her first servical Navy Department had undertaken the construction of nine bigger and better monitors. In Charleston Harbor the monitors were hit an aggregate of 738 times, and proved conclusively their superior en

k of the group of happy children lies one of the Davids or torpedo-boats with which the Confederates made repeated attempts to destroy the Federal vessels in Charleston Harbor, and thus raise the blockade. The Confederates were the first to employ torpedoes in the war, at Aquia Creek, July 7, 1861. Captain F. D. Lee, C. S. N., was guns, was pounded into submission by the monitors Weehawken and Nahant, and surrendered after a stubborn defense. The many attempts to gain possession of Charleston Harbor, that were animated as much by sentimental reasons as they were dictated by military necessity, were crowned by at least one success. Part of Morris Island an afoul of a torpedo in the Roanoke River on December 9th and went to the bottom, and after the fall of the last fort, Fort Fisher, the Patapsco was sunk in Charleston Harbor, January 15, 1865, and officers and crew were lost to the number of sixty.
