Washington, N. C. (North Carolina, United States) (search for this): article 11
Something interesting about the blockading fleet. A letter from the U. S. steamer State of Georgia, off Washington, N. C., gives some particulars of the capture of several of our vessels by that vessel. The capture of the steamer Nassau is thus described: She had two female passengers on board when captured, one of them the daughter of the Captain, Maflit, formerly of our Navy, now in command of the rebel gunboat Oreto, considered in knowing quarters likely to prove a troublesome customer, both from the fighting character of its commander and the heavy armament and redoubtable build of the boat. The daughter, too, seems to be a true chip of the old block Mr. Bogers gave me an interesting account of her undaunted spirit. She sat on the open deck of the Nassau,. during our firing at her to make her bring to, until the captain warned her of her danger, and advised her to go to her cabin. She would watch our guns, and as she saw the flame and smoke jut out, would manifest j

Armstrong, I ask you, sir, to treat me as you would wish your wife or daughter to be treated by my father, if they should have fallen into his hands as I have fallen into yours." To which the Captain, with pointed appropriateness, replied: "I will treat you as well as I would any lady in the world if you behave as one." She much wished to be set ashore there, but she was sent with the Nassau to New York. In the summer the Constitution was taken by the State of Georgia on suspicion. The captain protested his innocence, yet did not give a clear account of himself; but exhibited so imperfect a knowledge of his business as master of his vessel, that the Georgia's officers hesitated in their own minds to interpret his conduct upon general principles. He and his ship were, however, sent to New York, and there, on investigation, liberated. One night in August the schooner Mary Elisabeth ran right into the blockading squadron without perceiving a vess

the window of her cabin when she went below. It must be borne in mind that the Nassau had tons of powder on board, to realize the awful danger of her situation. A single shell exploding in that cargo, would have blown her into a thousand atoms — She is represented as a good looking, intelligent, spirited young woman. After the Nassau had surrendered, her captor's officers went aboard to prepare papers, &c., for sending her a prize to New York. They were busy willing in the cabin, when Miss Maflit had occasion to pass through. As she came by the officers she raised her apron to the side of her face next them, either to veil herself from their supposed view, or to shut their hated sight from her own view — a piece of bread-and-butter-Miss acting, to which Secesh would be heroines seem to be given.

The captain protested his innocence, yet did not give a clear account of himself; but exhibited so imperfect a knowledge of his business as master of his vessel, that the Georgia's officers hesitated in their own minds to interpret his conduct upon general principles. He and his ship were, however, sent to New York, and there, on investigation, liberated. One night in August the schooner Mary Elisabeth ran right into the blockading squadron without perceiving a vessel. Our blockading squadron carry no lights, as other vessels in company do, for the purpose of avoiding collisions. On the contrary, every light in necessary use about the ship is carefully screened from outside view. The consequence was, that the little Mary Elizabeth, in endeavoring to insinuate herself into port, ran right across the guns of the "Stars and Stripes," (another of our gunboats,)
