The Daily Dispatch: October 17, 1863., [Electronic resource], The late torpedo attack on the Ironsides . (search)
The late torpedo attack on the Ironsides.
--Two prisoners who have arrived in Charleston furnish the following about the late attack on the Ironsides:
Lieut. Glassell was picked up hanging to the chains of one of the mortar boats, and that Sullivan was also saved by swimming to a coal schooner near the Ironsides, and taken on board.
The Ironsides, they say, sustained no damage from the torpedo which exploded under her bow, those on board stating that they could scarcely discover the slightest perceptible shock or movement of the vessel at the time of its being struck.
The prisoners report the capture of three blockade runners on the 1st and 4th of October, two from Nassau and one from Bermuda.
The two from Nassau had on board an assorted cargo of cloths, dry goods, wines, liquors, &c; the other, from Bermuda, had on board a cargo on Government account.
