39 1/2. captures at Hatteras Inlet.
Official report of Com. Rowan.
U. S. Steamer Pawnee, Hatteras Inlet, September 10, 1861.
Sir: I have to state, for the information of the Department, that I have taken a valuable prize this morning, now called the Susan Jane, of Nevis, West Indies.
This schooner was called the Charles McCees when she cleared at Newbern, (N. C.,) two days before the blockade went into effect on this coast.
She took a cargo of spirits of turpentine to the West Indies, and at Charleston, Nevis's Island, obtained an English register, but without a bill of sale or endorsement of any kind on the part of the master or agent, and without any other paper required under English law. She sailed from Nevis to Halifax, (N. S.,) and there took on board an assorted cargo, consisting of blankets, cloth, iron, steel, brogans, axes, &c., all of which were purchased in New York and Boston, as is shown by bills of lading from different leading houses in those cities.

After passing considerably below the forces on shore, the Lexington turned back to be more near them.
I proceeded further down to examine the head of Island No.2 for a reported battery, but failed to find it. I, however, discovered the enemy in force on the Missouri side, at Lucas' Bend, and at once proceeded down and opened fire upon their artillery and cavalry.
The enemy had about sixteen pieces of field-artillery and, it is believed, one heavy piece in battery.
Several of their pieces were rifled cannon, and ranged to and beyond this vessel, striking all about her. In a short tim
