nfederate flag. Such damage as the Confederate cruisers which earlier got to sea caused, never decided a war. The blockade of the Southern coast, south of North Carolina (this State and Virginia not having yet seceded), was declared April 19, 1861; eight days later it was extended to that of North Carolina and Virginia.

rsonnel of the navy, both regular and volunteer, was of such a quality that men never questioned the peril which the mere embarking in some of the earlier gunboats entailed. The Fort Jackson, under Captain B. F. Sands, was in the third line of the fleet that on December 24 and 25, 1864, hurled more than a million and<*>a quarter pounds of shot and shell at Fort Fisher on the Cape Fear River, North Carolina. After the fall of that Fort the Fort Jackson continued on blockade duty off the North Carolina coast, and during 1865 captured three blockade-runners with valuable cargoes. late in the war as never to be used. Rifled cannon were also substituted for the smooth-bore guns. The navy with which the Federals ended the war belonged to a different era from that with which it started, the men to a different class. Very early in 1862, the number of artisans and laborers employed in the Government navy-yards was increased from less than four thousand to nearly seventeen thousand, and

But the most important features were the realization of the plans of the naval committee, and the fact that the victory had gained a base upon the Southern coast for the support of the blockading squadrons, while, at the same time, a foothold was afforded for military invasion. Stringham's fleet had now almost complete command of the most important passage to the North Carolina sounds. More than one port of entry of the blockade-runners was closed. The important capture of the Hatteras forts was quickly followed by operations along the coast that extended into the various sounds, and a little Fort on Beacon Island, Ocracoke Inlet, some twenty miles further south, was captured. It was in an unfinished condition, and was practically abandoned upon receipt of the news of the fall of Forts Clark and Hatteras. Lieutenant Maxwell landed with a small force on Beaco

Through the use of sea power the islands of North and South Carolina were taken possession of, not without much hard fighting, however, and fighting in which the new navy of the United States proved the hitherto ucordons spread along the coast ultimately precluded the import of articles, not only of trade but of necessity. It was natural that the ports of Virginia and North Carolina received the first attention of the Federal navy. Agreeable to the requirements of international law, notice Port Royal, 1862.

ers of the turret — their touching letter In this picture of the Monitor's crew taken in July, 1862, are seen the faces of old sailors from the famous old sailing frigate Sabine, mingled with those of young recruits from the receiving ship North Carolina.

They had weathered the perilous voyage from New York to Hampton Roads in constant danger of foundering.

The little gunboat that had rendered such good account of herself under the same officers in the early actions in North Carolina waters, had fired the first and the last shot of the day. A strange condition of affairs now followed, and they gave rise to subsequent bitter controversy. Suffice it that when the Beaufort and one or two of the other Confederate gunboats

From Hatteras Inlet offensive operations could be carried on by means of light-draft vessels along the entire coast of North Carolina. The inlet was the key to Albemarle Sound, and was, besides, a good depot for outfitting and coaling, and a refuge, owing to its sheltered position, from the fierce winter storms that raged along the shore. In the Gulf, there had been somcean bed beside her gigantic victim. On the 27th of October, 1864, the indomitable Lieutenant W. B.

The gunboat Otsego ran 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 Pat
