The Cruise of the Nashville. By Judge Theodore S. Garnett, Jr.
[from facts furnished by Lieutenant W. C. Whittle.]

She was a side-wheel, brig-rigged steamer, of about one thousand two hundred or one thousand four hundred tons, and was therefore deemed by them too large a vessel to run the blockade.

In April, 1860, seven young gentlemen graduated from this academy:
Francis Huger Harleston, A. J. Norris, A. S. Gaillard, William E. Stoney, S. S. Kirby and Frank deCaradeuc.
With high hopes and happy hearts they formed their class on commencement day for the last time, and taking their place in rear of the escort of their fellow-cadets, marched out of the archway, to the Hibernian Hall.
A brilliant audience, in fullest sympathy with the occasion, greeted the procession.
As I recall the scene to-day, though twenty-four y
