s more brilliant feats of arms. Before the blockade was six months old, the Atlantic Squadron was divided in two. Flag-Officer Goldsborough Admiral Samuel Phillips Lee. When the war broke out, Samuel Phillips Lee, who was born in Virginia in 1811, had already seen twenty-six years of almost continuous service. During the Civil War he was frequently shifted, but everywhere set an example to the service. At the passage of Forts Jackson and St. Phillip he commanded the sloop-of-war Oneida. He fought conspicuously in the battles of the Mississippi, from New Orleans to Vicksburg. In July of 1862 he was placed in command of the North Atlantic blockading squadron, making the blockade more effective than ever. Late in the war, in the summer of 1864, he was transferred to the Mississippi squadron, keeping the Cumberland River open for the army. The sloop below, attached to the blockading squadron during the war, won quite a name for herself, although not engaged in any of the l

Commander Boggs, on the Varuna, accompanied by the Oneida, had kept in close to shore, and thus escaped a great deal of the fire of the heavy guns that had been elevated and pointed to cover the midchannel. But now Bailhere she promptly sunk to her topgallant forecastle. The Confederate vessels were so pierced by the Varuna's fire that they, too, were run ashore in flames. The Oneida, which had already disabled one of the Confederate gunboats, came up and received the surrender of the Confederate Commander Kennon and the crew of the burning Go
