killfully and boldly commanded by Lieutenant Francis Winslow; while the action of the captain of the Vincennes in abandoning his vessel while she was ashore, but under cover of the Richmond's heavy battery, was a subject of well-merited reproach. On the night of the 13th of September occurred the destruction of the Confederate privateer Judah, in Pensacola harbor (see Vol. I., p. 32). A similar exploit was performed at Galveston early in November. The attacking party, under Lieutenant James E. Jouett, set out in two launches from the frigate Santee, Captain Henry Eagle, on the night of the 7th, and captured and burnt the privateer schooner Royal Yacht, carrying one 32-pounder. Thirteen prisoners were taken. The casualties in the Union force were 2 killed and 7 wounded. On the 16th of September, Ship Island, an important point commanding the passage of Mississippi Sound, which formed the water connection between New Orleans and Mobile, was evacuated by the Confederate force

Captain (now Admiral) Jouett, commanding the Hartford's escort, the Metacomet, repeatedly asked permission United States Sas closely watched with our glasses, and soon after the Tennessee had left Strong the Metacomet (Jouett) was seen to cast off; and divining the purpose, the Port Royal (Gherardi) was ordered to cast ot off from the Ossipee and (I believe) McCann did also, and steered for the enemy. By this time Jouett had come up with the Selma, and the fight commenced. A very few minutes after Gherardi had leftard mizzen-rigging, looked over the side of the ship, and, finding there were still Rear-Admiral James E. Jouett.
