All the 290's guns being now mounted, and the vessel otherwise ready for a cruise, the order was obeyed, and all took their departure, the bark, as before, in tow of the 290, which having conveyed her well out to sea, cast her off, and, with a favoring breeze, she steered for Cardiff to bring out a further supply of coal for the 290's use. The 290 and the Bahama now steamed round the island, and Capt Semmes, coming out of his cabin, ordered the First Lieutenant to muster the crew aft. This having been done, and all the officers assembled on the poop in their full uniform — i. e., Confederate gray frock coat and trousers--Capt Semmes enjoined silence, and read his commission as Post Captain in the Confederate navy.

This destination the 290 duly reached, after a fine run of eight days, and came to an anchor in Tarissa Roads, nothing of any moment having occurred to break the usual monotony of a sea voyage. Sometime before the departure of the 290 from the Mersey, a large bark left the Thames (cleared for Demerara, West Indies,) to meet the 290 at Tarissa, and there transfer to the latter vessel the guns and stores destined for her, and which formed the cargo of the bark. Some reason required to be assigned to the Portuguese authorities for the 290 having anchored in the bay, and accordingly the excuse furnished to them was that her engines had broken down. This plea was accepted as a valid one, and during the week that intervened between the arrival at Tarissa of the 290 and the bark, the crew of

Captain Semmes then ordered the First Lieutenant to fire a gun and run up the Confederate flag and pendant.

She was temporarily commanded by Captain Bullock, who had under him the proper complement of commissioned and petty officers. Captain Bullock having learned that a Federal man-of-war (the Tuscarora) lay in wait for him in St. George's Channel, took his departure by what is known as the North Channel, thus eluding the Federal enemy; though even had he been intercepted, the Northerner would have found himself in a dilemma, as the 290 had a set of English papers and other presumptive proofs of her neutrality, in the face of which it might have been difficult for her captor to have acted.--The 290 at the time carried no guns or other warlike stores, but consisted merely of the hall, spars and engines, excepting, of course, coa
