The Daily Dispatch: June 19, 1863., [Electronic resource], The Atlantic. (search)
The Atlantic. The loss of this vessel is noticed in another place. It is a painful circumstance; but we venture to say, in advance of all information, that though we lost everything else, we lost so honor. We know Captain Webb well. A braver man, or a truer seaman, never stopped between steam and stern. If he surrendered, it was no doubt, because resistance was no longer possible. The spirit which carried the little Teazer into action with the gigantic Cumber land would never have quay sink a vessel, or so damage her working gear; that it may be impossible to fight her after receiving it. That something of the kind occurred on this occasion we hold to be certain, unless we give way to a surmise too painful to be entertained, and which is founded upon no evidence. It is, that Captain Webb fell in the action. There is no proof and scarcely a probability of this, and there are a thousand other causes which might have produced the catastrophe, altogether independent of this.
The Daily Dispatch: June 19, 1863., [Electronic resource], Capture of the Confederate steamer Atlantic. (search)
Capture of the Confederate steamer Atlantic. Dispatches received in this city yesterday, from Savannah, announce the capture by the enemy of the Confederate iron-clad steamer Atlantic. It is stated that the Atlantic, under the command of Capt. Webb, steamed out of the harbor and was attacked by two Federal iron-clads, and after an action of thirty minutes was so disabled as to cause her surrender. She was then taken in tow by the captors and carried out to sea. One report says that only hat the artillery practice of the enemy was so accurate as to disable our ship thus early and reader her unmanageable. The Atlantic was formerly the Fingal, an English steamer which ran the blockade, and after getting into the harbor of Savannah was purchased by our Government and converted into an iron-clad, to be used for the defence of that city. Much anxiety is felt here relative to the fate of Capt. Webb, her commander, who is a resident of this city. He is a native of Norfolk, Va.
