Captain H. A. Adams of the Sabine issued notice of the blockade at Pensacola, the first Atlantic port to be thus closed. The Sabine, like her prototypes, the United States and the Constitution, mounted 44 guns. She sailed on the expedition to Paraguay in 1858-9, and became one of the first ships of the old navy to see active service in the Civil War. She served in Admiral Du Pont's squadron on the expedition to Port Royal in November, 1861. Her commander on that expedition was Captain Cadwalader Ringgold. It was largely due to the heroic efforts of his officers and crew that 650 marines were saved from drowning when the transport Governor foundered on the 3d. In February, 1862, when the new-fangled Monitor, the latest Yankee notion in war vessels, was going begging for officers and men, a crew was at last formed largely of volunteers from the Sabine. Of such stuff were made the tars of the old American sailing-ships of war army, there was no question as to naval action, which

He was retired in 1864, and promoted rear-admiral on the retired list in 1866. He died in New York City, April 29, 1867.

possession of at least two of them. Which of the two shall thus be occupied will be committed to your discretion after obtaining the best information you can in regard to them. . . . Notwithstanding the violence of the gale, it was ascertained that only one vessel attached to the naval force, the steam transport Governor, had been lost, and that all save seven of the persons on board had been rescued, through the exertions of the officers and crew of the sail frigate Sabine, Captain Cadwalader Ringgold, aided specially and greatly by the Isaac Smith, Lieutenant-Commander Nicholson. In the heavy gale the last-named vessel would have foundered, had not the broadside guns been thrown overboard. The hog braces of the Governor had first given way, then she lost her smokestack, and finally the use of the enginery. It was a lucky chance that of her human cargo, numbering 650 or more, so few were lost. The Peerless, an army transport laden with stores, was discovered in a sinking
