The Confederate operations in England did not suffer motions so much from the penalty inflicted upon the guilty parties as from the sd it was evident to Bulloch that no ships specially fitted for war could safely be purchased in England.

Upon reaching her deck, I ascertained for the first time that she was the yacht Deerhound, owned by Mr. John Lancaster, of England. In looking about I saw two French pilot-boats engaged in saving our crew, and finally two boats from the Kearsarge. To my surprise I found on the yacht Mr. Fullam, whom I had dispatched in the dingey to ask that boats be sent to save our woun

As Judge Reagan had been a frontiersman and, as we understood, a Texas Ranger, the men thought his chances good; but all believed that Benjamin would surely be caught, and all deplored it, for he had made himself exceedingly popular. One morning he suddenly disappeared. When I next heard of him he was in England. Mr. Benjamin escaped through Florida to the seacoast, thence to the Bahamas in an open boat.--editors.
