Nassau River (Florida, United States) (search for this): article 3
Loss of the Confederate steamer Cornubia. Among the passengers who came from Nassau on the Cornubia, and escaped after she was beached, were Col. L. R. Smoot, Quartermaster General of Virginia; Col. C. E. Thorburn and Paymaster James N. Harwood, C. S. N. The following is a letter giving the full particulars of the loss of the steamer, written by Purser Gordon, who also escaped: Wilmington, N. C., Nov. 9th, 1863. The Cornubia, while running down the beach from the northward of Fort Fisher, was completely hemmed in by a number of blockaders. In this emergency there were but two things that could be done — either to beach the steamer or run the gauntlet.--Captain Gayle, with promptness and great coolness, determined to run through the vessels and take their fire, and ordered the pilot not to beach her; but in trying to pass by, on the land side of one of the blockaders, the Cornubia ran aground. In a very few moments the blockaders were alongside, and while we were shovi

letely hemmed in by a number of blockaders. In this emergency there were but two things that could be done — either to beach the steamer or run the gauntlet.--Captain Gayle, with promptness and great coolness, determined to run through the vessels and take their fire, and ordered the pilot not to beach her; but in trying to pass bnd fired rapidly at us in the boats with muskets and pistols. They pursued us vigorously, and were not more than fifteen or twenty yards behind our boats. Capt. Gayle was taken prisoner, and, while I cannot speak positively on this point, I think it occurred in this way: There were three boats, (small,) and each man assigned lives of his men by the swamping of the boat, in the nobleness of his nature determined to sacrifice himself and let as many of his men escape as possible. Capt. Gayle did all that was possible to be done; he was calm and self-possessed, and, but for accidentally running aground, I think he would have brought her successfully
