153.-destruction of the Alexander Cooper.
Report of Lieutenant Cushing.
United States steamer Shockokon, off Wilmington, N. C., August 26, 1863.
sir: I have the honor to report that we have destroyed the blockade-running schooner Alexander Cooper, under the following circumstances: On the twelfth I made a reconnissance with boats in New-Topsail Inlet, and was driven out by four pieces of artillery stationed opposite the mouth, but not before I had discovered a schooner at a wh Acting Master's Mate Proudfit, engaged and repulsed the rebel picket force in that quarter without loss on our side . . . . . .
This schooner cleared from New-York for Port Royal, S. C., with an assorted cargo, and was towed once outside the line of the blockade by a gunboat.
I shall try to learn the names of the patriotic citizens of my State who entered into this little speculation. W. B. Cushing, Lieutenant Commanding. To Acting Rear-Admiral S. P. Lee, Commanding N. A. B. Squadron.
