Dear Sir :
I have examined the proof-sheets of your work on the Records of the Living
Officers of the Navy, and am of opinion that it will supply a want, and be a useful
book to the service and to the country. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant,
GEORGE M. ROBESON,
Secretary of Navy.
Lewis R. Hamerslt, Esq.,
Editor of the Records of Living Officers.

Navy Department,

This seems to be a concise statement of the services of the Living Officers of the
Navy, as shown by the records of this Department.

PREFACE TO REVISED EDITION.

The services of army officers have been recorded by several authors, but those
of the Navy and the Marine Corps have been wholly neglected, — the Official
Eegisters merely giving the name, place of birth, date of last commission, and
present station. Much more is required, not alone in justice to these gallant
patriots, but as part of our national history ; as an incitement to others to pursue
the career in which, while performing duty, they won renown. The present
volume endeavors to supply this want. For the conductors of the public press,
who may have occasion to write about these brave men, living or dead (for, though
glory is immortal, those who obtain it must submit to the common destiny of their
race), this work will be a treasury of facts, accurate in its full details. Hence
forth, when an Officer of the Navy or Marine Corps passes to the better land, the
recording journalist can draw upon these pages for the substantial facts of his
public service, and not, as hitherto, make mere mention of his name.
Here are the records of Living Officers of the United States Navy and Marine
Corps (from the grade of Admiral down to that of Lieutenant-Commander,
inclusive, not omitting full Surgeons, Paymasters, Engineers, and Marine Officers),
as they appear in the Navy Eegister for 1870. These records have been generally
verified by information obtained from the officers themselves.
In the cases of such retired Officers as had entered the Navy early in the
present century, it has often been difficult, sometimes impossible, to obtain a
correct record of their first services. The first Navy Eegister was published in
1816, and, for some years later, all Paymasters' Accounts, with the Muster and
Pay-roll3, were filed in the office of the Comptroller of the Treasury, and perished
when that edifice was destroyed by fire in 1833. To explain why, in the cases
of some of the Eetired Naval Officers, the commission of Captain follows that of
Lieutenant, the intermediate grades of Lieutenant-Commander and Commander
being omitted, it should be known that the law of 1867 provided that Officers on
the Eetired List should be promoted with Officers of the same date on the Active
List. Thus, Officers who had for many years been Lieutenants on the Eetired
List were promoted at once, in pursuance of this law, to the rank of Captain, and
even Commodore.
Philadelphia, August, 1870.

PEEFAOE TO THIKD EDITION.

The reader will look in vain in the present edition of this work for the records
of some of the illustrious men that graced the pages of the earlier issues. Since
then death has removed from our midst Farragut and Cushing, and others famous
in song and story, whose prowess and exploits, while adding new lustre to the
American name and Navy, have made their fame immortal. New names and new
actors, and a new generation, in many cases, appear upon the scene, the records
of whose faithful service, with those of the older officers still living, it is the object
of the present work to perpetuate and honor.

OF

LIVING OFFICERS OF THE D. S. NAVY.

ADMIEAL DAVID D. POETEK.
David D. Porter is a native of the State of Pennsylvania. Appointed Mid
shipman from that State, February 2, 1829 ; attached to frigate Constellation,
Mediterranean Squadron, 1830 ; frigate United States, same squadron, 1833—4 ;
attached to ship-of-the-line Delaware, Mediterranean Squadron, 1835.
Promoted to Passed Midshipman, June 4, 1836 ; on Coast Survey duty, 1837-
40. Commissioned as Lieutenant, February 27, 1841 ; frigate Congress, Mediter
ranean Squadron, 1843-5; Naval Observatory, Washington, D.,0, 1846. Lieu
tenant Porter was attached to Home Squadron, 1847, and actively engaged in the
war with Mexico ; was present at the two attacks on Vera Cruz and one on Tuspanr
and one at Tobasco ; participated also in a land fight at Tamultee, and a similar
engagement at Chiflon ; on Coast Survey duty, 1848-9 ; on leave of absence,
1850 ; commanding Pacific Mail steamer Georgia, 1851-3 ; on leave of absence,
1854; commanding store-ship Supply, 1855-7; attached to Portsmouth Navy
Yard, N. H, 1858-60.
Promoted to Commander, April 22, 1861. Commissioned as Rear-Admiral,.
July 4, 1863 ; as Vice- Admiral, July 25, 1866.
Vice-Admiral Porter was actively employed from the beginning to the close of
the Eebellion. As early as April, 1861, he sailed from New York in the Powhatan
for Fort Pickens, and remained on the coast of Florida until ordered North to
assume command of the mortar fleet fitting out to co-operate with Admiral Far
ragut in his attack on the defences of New Orleans. He displayed great energy
in hastening the sailing of these vessels, and when Farragut arrived at the-
Southwest Pass, Porter's vessels were at their stations and ready to commence the-
attack. • On the 11th of April, 1862, he began the bombardment of Forts Jackson andl
St. Philip. The mortar flotilla kept up a steady fire, with but slight cessation,
for six days and nights, at the end of which time both of the forts, powerful as-
they were, and desperate as was their resistance, had become so weakened and the:
garrison so demoralized, as, in the judgment of the flag-officer, to render the
passage of the fleet possible.
On April 28, Brigadier- General Duncan, commanding the coast defences, and;
Lieutenant-Colonel Higgins, commanding Forts Jackson and St. Philip, surrendered
to Commander Porter. From this time until July, 1862, he remained in com*
mand of the mortar flotilla, actively, zealously, and efficiently co-operating with,
Admiral Farragut in his operations on the Mississippi, from New Orleans to.

Vicksburg. Commander Porter was soon after appointed Acting Bear- Admiral,
and ordered to the command of the Mississippi Squadron. The true character of
his natural endowments and professional attainments may be seen in his creating
a fleet of one hundred and twenty-five vessels — a number far exceeding that com
manded by any other officer in the history of naval warfare — out of the material
afforded by ordinary river steamboats, which he plated, armed and equipped,
making them formidable and efficient war vessels. In the squadron there were
more than thirteen hundred officers ; of these not more than twenty-five were of
the regular navy, the rest consisting mainly of Western steamboat-men, utterly
without naval training, but who, under the rigid discipline and inspiring example |
of their commander, soon became valuable and trustworthy officers. In January,
1863, Admiral Porter's fleet captured Arkansas Post, on the Arkansas Eiver, and
in the month of May following he destroyed the formidable rebel batteries at
Grand Gulf. Invaluable aid was rendered to the army under General Grant by
Admiral Porter in the reduction of Vicksburg, which surrendered July 4, 1863.
During the siege of Vicksburg his mortar fleet were forty days, without inter
mission, throwing shells into the city and even into the works beyond it. Thir
teen heavy guns were landed from the vessels, and men and officers sent to man
them. Before the city capitulated, sixteen thousand shells were thrown from the
mortars, gunboats, and naval batteries.
In addition to these successes, Admiral Porter obtained control of the Yazoo
Eiver, sweeping from its channel the net-work of torpedoes and contrivances for
submarine warfare near its confluence with the Mississippi. These efforts were
followed by the novel and singular Yazoo Pass expedition, and the expeditions of
Steele's Bayou and Deer Creek. The Cumberland and Tennessee Bivers were
actively patrolled by his vigilant officers, and the exciting chase of Morgan by the
steamers on the Ohio Eiver, over a distance of five hundred miles, intercepting
him and his band when attempting to escape, naturally attracted the attention of
,the country.
In March, 1864, a portion of the Mississippi Squadron, under Admiral Porter,
ascended the Eed Biver to form a junction with the army under General Banks
.at Alexandria, La. From this point, with some of his most formidable iron-clads,
Admiral Porter penetrated some fifty miles farther up the river, to Springfield
Landing. While at Springfield Landing he learned that the army under General
Banks had met with a reverse, and was falling back to Pleasant Hill, some distance
below. Bear-Admiral Porter was therefore compelled to turn back, his retracing
steps harassed at every available point by the enemy, flushed with their recent
-success against the army.
On April 14, Admiral Porter reached Grand-Ecore, where he found the vessels
lie had left at that point still detained above the bar. The river instead of rising
as customary at this season, had fallen during his absence, and the destruction of
the best portion of the squadron seemed inevitable. But, in the words of the
Admiral, "Providence provided a man for the occasion." Lieutenant-Colonel
Bailey, Acting Engineer of the 19th army corps, constructed a series of dams
.across the river at the falls, and the water rising to a sufficient height, the im
perilled boats jpassed safely over the i>ar.
Bear-Admiral Porter, who had displayed ability of the highest order, and as
eommander of the Mississippi Squadron had met with marked success in his
operations against the enemy, and who, moreover, 'enjoyed the entire confidence of
the Department and the nation, was detached from the Mississippi and ordered
to the command of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, which embraced
.within its limits Cape Fear Biver and the port of Wilmington.
A fleet .(comprising all the available vessels at the disposal of the Department,

VICE-ADMIRAL. 9
and commanded by officers who had distinguished themselves in the earlier
operations of the war, was assembled at Hampton Boads. In the early part of
December the fleet sailed for Beaufort, N. O, where they were to rendezvous.
Final preparations for the attack were then made. On December 24, 1864, Bear-
Admiral Porter, with a force of thirty-five vessels, five of which were iron-clads,
and a reserve force of nineteen vessels, commenced the bombardment of the forts
at the mouth of Cape Fear Biver, and silenced them in an hour and a quarter.
On the following day the fleet renewed the attack, and seriously damaged the
enemy's works.
General Butler, who commanded the military forces, after a reconnoissance,
decided that the place could not be carried by assault. He therefore, after in
forming Bear-Admiral Porter of his intention, returned with his command to
Hampton Boads. Admiral Porter, aware of the necessity of reducing the works
and the great importance of closing the port of Wilmington, and confident that
with adequate military support the fort could be carried, earnestly requested that
the enterprise should not be abandoned. On the suggestion of the President,
Lieutenant-General Grant was advised of the confidence felt by Bear-Admiral
Porter that he could obtain complete success provided he should be sufficiently
sustained. Such military aid was therefore invited as would secure the fall of
Fort Fisher. A second military force was promptly detailed, composed of about
8500 men, under command of Major-General A. H. Terry, and sent forward.
This force arrived off Fort Fisher on the 13th of January. Offensive operations
were at once resumed by the naval force, and the troops were landed and en
trenched themselves, while a portion of the fleet bombarded the works. These
operations were continued throughout the 14th with an increased number of
vessels. The 15th was the day decided upon for the assault.
During the morning of that day forty-four vessels poured an incessant fire into
the fort. There was besides a force of fourteen vessels in reserve. At 3 p.m.
the signal for the assault was made. Desperate fighting ensued ; traverse after
traverse was taken, and by 10 p.m. the works were all carried.
Fourteen hundred sailors and marines were landed, and participated in the direct
assault. Seventy-five guns, many of them superb rifle pieces, and nineteen hun
dred prisoners were the immediate fruits of the victory.
In 1866, Vice- Admiral Porter was appointed Superintendent of the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, which institution, under his excellent management, acquired
the highest standing.
Special duty, Navy Department, 1869-70.
Commissioned as Admiral, August 15, 1870; special duty, Washington,
1870-8.

VICE-ADMIEAL STEPHEN C. BOWAN,
Born in Ireland, December 28, 1805 ; appointed Midshipman from Ohio, Feb
ruary 15, 1826, and ordered to the sloop-of-war Vincennes, Pacific Squadron;
serving in schooner Experiment, Chesapeake Bay, 1831.
Promoted to Passed Midshipman, April 28, 1832, and attached to sloop-of-war
Vandalia, West India Squadron, 1834-6, and to store-ship Belief, 1837.
Commissioned as Lieutenant in 1837 ; on Coast Survey duty, 1840 ; attached to

attack on a Mexican outpost, near Mazatlan; Executive-Officer of the Cyane when
she bombarded Guaymans ; ordnance duty, 1850-3.
Promoted to Commander, September 14, 1855, and ordered to command of
store-ship Belief; on ordnance duty, 1858-61 ; commanded sloop-of-war Pawnee,
1861-2. , ,
In May, 1861, when in command of the Pawnee, engaged the rebel battery at
Acquia Creek. This was the first action of the war. While in command of the
Pawnee, he participated in the attack and capture of the forts and garrison at
Hatteras Inlet.
February 7, 1862, commanded a naval flotilla in the sounds of North Carolina,
and took part in the successful combined attack of the navy and army upon
Eoanoke Island, on February 8. On the morning after the capture of Boanoke
Island, Commander Bowan, with a portion of his flotilla, pursued the enemy into
Albemarle Sound, and at 8 A.M., February 10, the rebel steamers, under the
command of W. F. Lynch, formerly of the U. S. Navy, were discovered drawn up
behind a battery of four guns, supported by a schooner on the opposite side of the
river, armed with two heavy thirty-two pounders. Fire was opened by the in
surgents from the fort and steamers at long range. Commander Bowan pushed on
steadily until within three-fourths of a mile, when he opened fire and dashed ahead
at full speed. This bold and wholly unanticipated onset dismayed the rebels, who
hastily abandoned their works, which, with their entire fleet, were captured or
destroyed. Passin" up the river, the flotilla took possession of Elizabeth City. Lieutenant
Murray was despatched with a small force to Edenton, of which he quietly took
possession, and on returning from this duty he was sent to obstruct the Chesapeake
and Albemarle Canal. In this expedition there were five armed steamers and one
schooner destroyed, and one steamer, the Ellis, captured.
Commissioned as Captain, July 16, 1862, and as a reward for distinguished
gallantry, promoted to Commodore, to take rank from the same date.
Commodore Bowan commanded the naval forces at the fall of Newbern, N. C. ;
commanded the New Ironsides off Charleston, and participated in the different
engagements with Forts Wagner, Gregg, and Moultrie.

1871 ; Commandant Navy Yard and Station, New York, 1872-6 ; Port-Admiral,
New York, 1877-8. 
BEAE-ADMIEAL JOHN EODGEBS,
Born in Maryland, and appointed Midshipman from District of Columbia, April
18, 1828. Attached to frigate Constellation, Mediterranean Squadron, 1829-32 ;
Naval School, Norfolk, 1833-4.
Promoted to Passed Midshipman, June 14, 1834 ; on leave, 1835 ; brig Dol
phin, Brazil Squadron, 1836-8 ; special service, 1839.
Commissioned as Lieutenant, January 22, 1840 ; brig Boxer, Home Squadron,
1841-3 ; special service, 1844-5 ; sloop Marion, Mediterranean Squadron, 1846-
7 ; Coast Survey, 1848-52 ; commanding steamer John Hancock, and Surveying
and Exploring Expeditions to North Pacific and China Seas, 1853-6.
Commissioned as Commander, September 14, 1855 ; special duty, Washington,
D. C, 1857-9 ; waiting orders, 1860.
In. 1861, Commander Bodgers was ordered to special duty in the West, super
intending the construction of the Benton class of iron-clads. In 1862 he was

REAR-ADMIRALS. 11
assigned to the command of the iron-clad steamer Galena, and ordered to the
North Atlantic Blockading Squadron. On May 10, 1862, Commander Bodgers
left Hampton Boads in command of an expedition of gunboats, with orders to
enter the James Biver, and, if possible, to ascend the river to Bichmond. After
two engagements with rebel batteries, which were in each instance silenced, the
fleet reached Fort Darling, a casemated battery, erected on the crest of a hill,
which, together with sunken vessels, effectually obstructed the channel.
On the morning of May 15, Commander Bodgers anchored the Galena in front
of and at a distance of five hundred yards from the rebel fort. The Aroostook
and Port Boyal, wooden gunboats, were stationed eight hundred yards below the
flag-ship. At 8 a.m. the vessels opened fire on Fort Darling, and from that time
until 12 m. kept up a vigorous bombardment. At 12.10 p.m., Commander Bodgers
having expended every shot and shell in the magazine and shell-room of the Galena,
made signal to withdraw from action, the vessels retiring in good order, and giving
the rebels a parting shot as they steamed down the river. The monitor being unable
to give sufficient elevation to her guns, and the Naugatuck, better known as the
Stevens battery, having burst her rifle-gun at the first fire, were rendered useless,
so far as the fort was concerned ; although both vessels did good service during
the action by stationing their crews as sharpshooters and picking off the rebel rifle
men, who greatly annoyed the crews of the wooden vessels.
The armor of the Galena did not prove of any service to her. She was hit one
hundred and twenty-nine times, losing in killed and wounded two-thirds of her
crew. The Aroostook and Port Boyal suffered to a less extent.
Commissioned as Captain, July 16, 1862.
In 1863, Captain Bodgers was ordered to the command of the monitor Wee-
hawken, and sailed from New York in that vessel for the South Atlantic Block
ading Squadron. On his way South, and while off the Delaware Breakwater,
he encountered a heavy gale. He was urged to run in and remain until the
storm abated. This he declined to do, saying he wished to test the sea-going
qualities of the monitors. The Weehawken rode out the gale, and reached Port
Boyal in safety.
On June 17, 1863, in Warsaw Sound, Georgia, Captain Eodgers, in the Wee
hawken, encountered the powerful rebel iron-clad Atlanta, a vessel of much greater
tonnage than the Weehawken. So confident were the rebels of a speedy victory,
that the Atlanta was accompanied from Savannah to the scene of action by boats
freighted with gay parties eager to witness the triumph of their vessel. Five shots
were fired by the Weehawken. The fight lasted but fifteen minutes, at the end of
which time the Atlanta surrendered. An important feature of this conflict was
the final settlement of the dispute as to the value of the new fifteen-inch gun, which
fully proved its merit.
Commissioned as Commodore, June 17, 1863 ; commanding iron-clad Dictator,
special service, 1864-5 ; commanded monitor Monadnock, 1866-7 ; and in that
vessel made the passage around the Horn to San Francisco. Commodore Bodgers
touched at Valparaiso, and witnessed the bombardment of that place by the Spanish
Fleet. Commanding Navy Yard, Boston, 1867-9.
Commissioned as Rear-Admiral, December 31, 1869; commanding Asiatic
Fleet, 1870-2 ; Commandant Mare Island Navy Yard, 1873-7 ; Superintendent
Naval Observatory, 1877-8.

the Merrimac came down from Norfolk, and engaged the Congress and Cumber
land, then lying off Newport News, and, after a brief action, destroyed those ves
sels. The Merrimac then steamed up the Elizabeth Biver, and it was feared that
on the following day the steam-frigates Minnesota and Boanoke, then lying in
Hampton Boads, would share the fate of the Cumberland. At this juncture of
affairs the Monitor arrived, and when the Merrimac steamed into the Boads on the
9th, it was to find an adversary of different metal from that of the ships so easily
destroyed the day before. At 8.45 a.m. the Monitor opened fire on the Merri
mac, and continued the action until 12.15 p.m., when the Merrimac retreated to
Sewall's Point. During the action Captain Worden was injured in the eyes by
the explosion of a shell from the Merrimac upon the outside of the eye-hole of
the pilot-house exactly opposite his eye.

assisting in the protection of Fort Pickens; commanded gunboat Wyandotte,

rear of Fort Pickens, to aid in protecting it from a threatened attack from the

and marines, April 12, 1861, reinforcing Fort Pickens ; commanded store-ship
Supply, Home Squadron, May and June, 1861, off Pensacola, and during passage
to New York ; Inspector of Ordnance, Fort Pitt foundry, Pittsburg, and other
places, from July, 1861, to March, 1862.
Commissioned as Commander, October 18, 1861 ; commanded steamer Bienville,
N. A. and W. G. Squadrons, from April, 1862, to May, 186.5, — except as hereafter
noted, — frequently engaged with, and coming under the fire of the forts off Charles
ton and other points on the Southern coast.
Arriving in command of the Bienville off Mobile shortly before the battle of
August 5, 1864, volunteered his services for the engagement then being planned.
The Bienville not being considered by Admiral Farragut a fit vessel to engage the
forts, he was assigned by Admiral Farragut to the command of the Oneida, which,
on the passing of Fort Morgan, occupied the side exposed to the fire of the fort,
the Galena being lashed to the opposite or port side, and being under his control
by virtue of his seniority. The Oneida occupied the rear of the line of battle, and
was exposed to a very destructive fire from Fort Morgan. The first shell by which
she was struck entered the ship just under the mizzen rigging, killing the cabin
steward, cutting the wheel-ropes, and setting the cabin on fire. The steering-gear
being promptly repaired, the vessel was again struck, the shot exploding the star
board boiler and scalding sixteen men. The Oneida was partly disabled by this
shot, but steam on the port boiler was still available, and sufficed to move the ship.
As rearmost vessel, the ship was exposed to a very heavy fire for some time after
she was able to return it, owing to the fact that she had passed too far beyond the
fort to be enabled to train her guns sufficiently aft to bring them to bear on it.
When nearly free from the fire of Fort Morgan, the Oneida was assailed by the
ram Tennessee, with whom she exchanged shots in passing. The latter, coming
up under her stern, was enabled to rake her, one shot visiting serious loss upon the
ship, and inflicting several severe wounds upon Commander Mullany, one of which
necessitated the amputation of his left arm.
Up to this time he had exercised active command of the two vessels, standing
upon the poop and " conning" the ship, and encouraging the crew by voice and
example. After this injury the vessel was not again struck, and the engagement,
as far as the Oneida and Galena were concerned, terminated.
A certain ambiguity in a letter of Admiral Farragut to Captain Wells, dated
April 21, 1870, conveys the erroneous impression that the Oneida was disabled
entirely by the explosion of her boiler, and that her commander being wounded
early in the action, the command of both vessels devolved upon the commanding
officer of the Galena. This is incorrect in regard both to the Oneida and to Com
mander Mullany, the fact being well established that Commander Mullany com
manded both vessels until fire had nearly if not quite ceased, and that the action
was virtually over the following extract from a letter, written by the executive-
officer of the Oneida, will show :

REAR-ADMIRALS. 15
" Newport, R. I., June 10, 18?2.
" Commodore J. E. M. Mullany, U. S. Navy.
" You were on deck, in active command, through all the perilous part of the
Mobile fight, and the very last serious accident of the many incurred by the Oneida
was your wound.
" When compelled to go below, you sent for me, and turned over the command
to me op deck, and I am quite sure that your ship never fired a gun after you were
wounded. " I am confirmed in this belief by the recollection that Lieutenant E. N. Kel
logg, who commanded the after division, reported to me some minutes before you
were hurt that his guns would no longer bear on the fort.
" Subsequently to this the ram passed close alongside, giving Kellogg an oppor
tunity to get one shot into her. She then passed astern, also out of our range, and
delivered a raking fire, during which you were wounded.
" Having nothing to fire at, the Oneida's guns were silent from this time.
" Very respectfully your obt. serv't,
" CHAELES S. HUNTINGTON,
" Lieutenant- Commander, U. S. N.
" Executive- Officer of Oneida during action of August 5, 1864."

coast of Texas, in co-operation with the land-forces under General Canby. After a
vigorous bombardment, Forts Alexis and Spanish Fort were carried by assault by
the army on the night of April 9, 1865, leaving the minor works a comparatively
easy prey, — the Forts Tracy and Huger, near Tracy and Huger, made a spirited
resistance until the night of the 11th, when their garrisons made their escape
through the marshes and in boats. On the following day, a large army force
embarked in transports, under convoy of the squadron, crossed the bay, eight
miles, in a dense fog, for the purpose of making a combined attack by land and
water upon the city and its immediate defences, but on reaching the eastern shore
the fog suddenly lifted, when flags of truce were discovered at the landing, and
the announcement made that the rebel General Maury had evacuated the city with
all his army ; a formal demand was at once made by General Granger and Acting
Bear- Admiral Thatcher for the surrender of the city, which was unconditionally
complied with, and the fortifications and city taken possession of without delay,
the stars and stripes taking the place of the rebel flag in every direction. The
rebel naval forces, under Flag-Officer Ebenezer Farrand, consisting of the iron-clad
frigate Nashville, sloop-of-war Morgan (partially iron-clad), the iron-clad ram Baltic,
the steamer Black Warrior, and the rams Tuscaloosa and Huntsville, fled to the
river Tombigbee, and sinking the two last named in the channel. Our forces
afloat being about to pursue them, Farrand proposed terms of surrender, which
having been accepted by Acting Bear-Admiral Thatcher, a suitable force under
Commander Edward Simpson (fleet-captain), was despatched by him to take pos
session and bring them with their officers and men to the city. Preparations were
then at once made for the attack on Texas, but before the forces could move, pro
positions were made for the surrender of all their posts through Captain Sands,
commanding the Texas division of the blockade, and commissioners sent by the
rebels to New Orleans to complete the arrangements. Acting Bear-Admiral
Thatcher at once proceeded to Galveston in his flag-ship and was well received
by the authorities of that city. The forts were garrisoned by blue-jackets until
the boys in blue could be sent from New Orleans to relieve them. In May, 1866,
Commodore Thatcher was relieved from the Gulf and ordered to the command of
the North Pacific Squadron, in which command he remained until relieved in
August, 1868.

from Fort St. Philip, and was attacked by one of the enemy's rams and a large
rebel steamer ; the latter received a broadside from the Brooklyn, at sixty yards,

obstructions, and passed on up the river. Captain Craven continued in command

In 1861, Commander Lee was ordered to command the sloop-of-war Oneida,
and in that vessel took part in the attack and passage of Forts Jackson and St.
Philip, and the various battles on the Mississippi from New Orleans to Vicksburg,
winning a high reputation for gallantry and devotion to duty.
Commissioned as Captain, July 16, 1862, and ordered to the command of the
N. A. B. Squadron, with the rank of Acting Bear- Admiral. While in command
of the N. A. B. Squadron, he greatly harassed the enemy by numerous expeditions
up the navigable streams within the limits of his squadron. He was at all times
ready to co-operate with the army, and on more than one occasion the presence of
his vessels saved the military forces from serious disaster. Wilmington, N. C,
was the most difficult port on the coast to blockade, but Acting Bear- Admiral
Lee, by a wise distribution of the vessels of his squadron, made the blockade as
effective as it was possible to make it. In the summer of 1864, Acting Eear-
Admiral Lee was transferred to the command of the Mississippi Squadron. In
December of the same year he rendered good service to the country, by keeping
open the Cumberland Eiver at the time Hood's army was advancing on Nashville,
and when the safety of the army under General Thomas depended in a great
measure upon reinforcements and supplies reaching them promptly ; the railroad
communication between Louisville and Nashville having been interrupted, the
Cumberland Eiver was the only channel of communication.
During this campaign, Admiral Lee was several times under fire, and for his
services received a vote of thanks from Congress.
In 1865, the Mississippi Squadron was disbanded and most of the vessels sold,
Captain Lee being ordered East.

hundred men on board. It was supposed that she was designedly run on Frying-
pan Shoal, North Carolina ; and had it not been for the timely assistance of the
Mount Vernon, it is very probable that many lives would have been lost. By this
valuable service being rendered, General Butler was enabled to reach New Orleans
in time to participate in that great battle. While on the blockade of Wilmington,
he burned a light-boat under the guns of Fort Caswell, so close that they could
hear the sentinels calling " all's well." This light-boat was all ready to receive
her battery of eight guns, and would have been put in commission in a few days,
to cruise against our commerce.

official report, says, " Just as the scene appeared to be closing, the ram Manassas
was seen coming up under a full head of steam to attack us. I directed Captain
Smith, in the Mississippi, to turn and run her down. This order was instantly
obeyed by the Mississippi, turning and going at her at full speed. Just as we
expected to see the ram annihilated, when within fifty yards of each other, she
put her helm hard-a-port, dodged the Mississippi, and ran ashore. The Missis
sippi poured two broadsides into her and sent her drifting down the river a total
wreck. Thus closed our morning's fight." Chalmette batteries, below New Orleans,
April 25, 1862.
Commissioned as Captain, July 16, 1862.
Captain Smith remained in the Mississippi, taking part in all the engagements
of the squadron until March 14, 1863, when, in attempting the passage of the
batteries at Port Hudson, the Mississippi grounded in twenty-three feet of water,
and keeled over to port. Every effort was made to get the vessel off, but without
avail, and the enemy having obtained the exact range of the ship, were hulling
her at almost every shot, when Captain Smith gave orders to fire her, which was
done in four different places between decks. When the flames had gained sufficient
headway to render the destruction of the vessel certain, Captain Smith gave orders
to abandon her, which was done quietly and without confusion, he being the last
man to leave. By his cool and courageous bearing in the trying situation in
which he was placed, Captain Smith won the admiration of all, and his course was
approved by both Bear-Admiral Farragut and the Department. While command
ing the Monongahela, participated in the attacks on Port Hudson, from June 1 to

command of the Mobile Bay Division, until February, 1865 ; March 14, 1865,
ordered to James Eiver, remained there until after Lee surrendered to General
Grant. Admiral Farragut, in his detailed report of the Mobile affair, says, -" Before
closing this report, there is one other office'r of my squadron of whom I feel bound
to speak, Captain T. A. Jenkins, of the Eichmond, who was formerly my chief-of-
staff, not because of his having held that position, but because he never forgets to
do his duty to the government, and takes now the same interest in the fleet as
when he stood in that relation to me. He is also commanding officer of the second
division of my squadron, and as such, has shown ability and the most untiring
zeal. He carries out the spirit of one of Lord Collingwood's best sayings, — ' not
to be afraid of doing too much ; those who are, seldom do as much as they ought.'
When in Pensacola, he spent days on the bar, placing buoys in the best position,
was always looking after the interests of the service, and keeping the vessels
from being detained in port one moment more than necessary. The gallant Craven
told me only the night before the action in which he lost his life, ' I regret, Ad
miral, that I have detained you ; but had it not been for Captain Jenkins, God
knows when I should have been here. When your order came I had not received
an ounce of coal.' I feel that I should not be doing my duty if I did not call the
attention of the Department to an officer who has performed all his various duties
with so much zeal and fidelity."

that year, as far as Vicksburg, assisting in destroying Grand Gulf; August 4r
1862, was transferred to the command of the steam-sloop Oneida; while steaming
up the river above New Orleans, at night, August 8, the Oneida was purposely
run into by the steamboat Lewis T. Whitman, and although every effort was made-
to save her crew and passengers (seventy of whom were saved), many lives were
lost. Her rebel captain was sent to New Orleans in irons, and after his release,,
served upon the steam-tug Boston, and conveyed her to the rebels at Mobile.
Commissioned as Commander, July 16, 1862 ; on the blockade off Mobile
August 25 to October, 1862 ; on August 29 he was left senior-officer present, four
vessels out of seven of our usual blockading force having left for coal and repairs ;
on September 4, about 6 p.m., a steamer flying English colors, and having every
appearance of one of Her Britannic Majesty's gunboats, approached the bar, and
was met by our vessels underway ; the Oneida fired three shots across the stranger's
bow, the last at her fore-foot, without bringing her to ; and then, within three
minutes of the first gun, fired a broadside into her, and continued the chase, with
the other vessels, until she, from her superior speed, was enabled to run in over
the southeast shoals under cover of Fort Morgan's guns. This steamer proved to
be the rebel cruiser Oreto, afterward called the Florida. Her commander subse
quently wrote as follows :
" I can vouch for his (Preble's) promptness and destructive energy on the occa
sion of my entering Mobile Bay. The superior speed of the Florida alone saved
her from destruction, though not from a frightful mauling. We were torn to
pieces, — one man's head taken off, and eleven wounded; boats, standing- and,
running-rigging shot away, also foregaff. Four shells struck our hull, and had.

the one (11-inch) that grazed our boiler and entered the berth-deck (killing one
and wounding two) exploded, every man belonging to the steamer would have
been killed, as I had only the officers on deck, until about to cross the bar, when
I made some sail, and one man was wounded in the rigging ; we had about 1400
shrapnel shot (balls) in our hull, and our masts were pitted like a case of small
pox. The damage done her was so great that we did not get to sea again for over
three months."
For not preventing the Oreto's running the blockade, Commander Preble was
summarily dismissed from the naval service, by order of September 20, 1862, but
was nominated to the Senate by the President, and on recommendation of the
Nayal Committee was, on February 21, 1863, confirmed and restored to his proper
rank and position as a Commander, the injustice of his summary dismissal being
generally admitted. April 9, 1863, agreeably to orders from the Navy Depart
ment, proceeded via England to Lisbon, and June 3 took command of the sailing
sloop St. Louis at the latter port, and ordered to cruise for rebel corsairs between
Lisbon, the Azores, Canary Islands, and Gibraltar. Though requesting more
active duty, and command of a steamer on the coast, he was in command of the
St. Louis, cruising within those limits, until ordered to Port Boyal, South Caro
lina, September 3, 1864, once falling in with his old foe, the Florida, at Madeira,
and preventing her from getting a full supply of coal, but not able to prevent her
from running out in a calm. He gave chase as soon as he got wind, but of course
did not catch her.
Eeported to the Admiral November 2, 1864 ; took charge of the coal depot,
and blockaded in the North Edisto until November 24, when he was ordered to
command the Fleet Brigade then organized by Admiral Dahlgren at Port Boyal,
to co-operate with an army force designed to assist General Sherman's approach to
the coast ; this brigade, consisting of naval artillery, sailor infantry, and a marine
battalion, 493 all told, joined an army force under General J. P. Hatch at Boyd's
Neck, and on November 30, 1864, engaged in the severe battle of Honey Hill;
it also took part in the actions of the 6th, 7th, and 9th of December on De Vaux's
Neck, and was daily under fire until withdrawn on December 28 ; the general
orders and written commendations of Bear-Admiral Dahlgren and Generals Foster,
Hatch, and Potter, were gratifying to all connected with the brigade (see Secre
tary of Navy's Eeport, 1865) ; April 4, transferred to the command of the steamer
State of Georgia, and proceeded to Aspinwall to look after American interests ;
his vessel and the Huntsville rescued six or seven hundred passengers from the
wrecked steamship Golden Bule, near Aspinwall ; in acknowledgment of this ser
vice he received the thanks of the rescued people, transmitted through the Navy
Department ; the State of Georgia returned to New York, and went out of com
mission September 11, 1865; at Boston Navy Yard as General Inspector of Sup
plies, from October 14, 1865, to July 5, 1867, and continued as Equipment-Officer

The zeal and conduct with which these arduous duties were performed during

relation to Captain Stevens, from his commanding and brother officers, — men whose
own experience and valor make them best qualified to judge of such services.

Upon the occasion of his leaving the squadron the following letter was addressed
him by the late Admiral Du Pont :
" I cannot permit you to leave without expressing my regret at your withdrawal
from my squadron, having ever found you prompt, energetic, skilful, and brave in
all the duties pertaining to your command. Your operations on the St. John's
Biver, as senior-officer of the naval forces which took possession of those waters,
were attended by circumstances requiring judgment and discretion, both of which
you exhibited in a manner highly satisfactory to me.
" I am, sir, respectfully, your obedient servant,
"8. F. DU PONT,
" Flag-Officer Commanding South Atlantic Blockading Squadron."
Upon being relieved of the command of the U. S. S. Monitor, then in Hampton
Boads, the present Bear- Admiral, John Bodgers, wrote as follows :
" In all the time of our companionship on duty you have evinced courage and
coolness. In our reconnoissance of the forts at Hilton Head previous to the grand
attack, in the grand attack in which they were taken, in the Cooper Biver, in the
Appomattox, with your vessel aground under very trying circumstances, you have
exhibited the characteristics of a valuable officer. I have not cited occasions of
which I have only heard, but of which I have been mindful, where your conduct
has received the warmest praise. Everywhere you have shown yourself a dashing,
zealous officer."
Bear- Admiral Charles Wilkes, in a letter to the Secretary of the Navy, in ref
erence to Captain Stevens, writes :
"I have had many and favorable opportunities, having been associated with him
(Commander Stevens), and he served under my command in the James Biver, and
in the West Indies, most of the time under my immediate observation. His patriot
ism is beyond doubt ; his ability as an officer is second to none in the navy ; he
has at all times given me on duty entire satisfaction in the performance of his
duties, and the zeal with which he executed them. I think him a high-toned
officer and a gentleman, and know him to be an ornament to the service. His
duties engrossed his whole attention ; ever ready and prompt in their execution,
winning my entire satisfaction and confidence in his willingness, activity, and ability
in the execution of orders. His command was always held ready for duty, and
through his example, energy, and good management he fulfilled many orders,
overcoming great difficulties he had to encounter. He is brave and chivalric ; no
officer could have shown more attachment to the Union cause during the late war,
and none exerted themselves more to maintain and restore the Union and uphold
the honor of our flag."
And again he says :
" In arduous cruising in the West Indies, he upheld the honor of our flag, with
spirit, upon several occasions, — his long and arduous chase of the Florida, on the
Bahama Banks, should alone have advanced him to a higher grade."
Bear- Admiral Dahlgren, in his farewell order upon relinquishing command of
the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, says, in reference to the night attack on
Sumter :
" When I began to perceive that the enemy was not likely to be driven out of
Sumter, except by assault, and saw that the force which I had could not of itself
go further, unless he was driven out, I ordered the assault. It failed, but never
was more gallantry displayed than in the attempt."
Admiral Dahlgren also addressed the Department in relation to the meritorious
services of Captain Stevens in presence of the enemy. Beferring to the action of
August 31, 1863, upon which occasion four monitors, under the command of Cap-

COMMODORES. 59
tain Stevens, engaged Fort Moultrie and the adjacent batteries, at short range,
the Charleston papers the following morning remarked :
" The engagement was a very spirited one, and it must be confessed, the Yankee
captains fought their ships with great gallantry."
Commander Edward Simpson, now Captain, who commanded the monitor Pas
saic upon this occasion, refers to it in his official report as the most severe action
that had taken place between armored vessels and earthworks up to that time.
Bear- Admiral Bowan, in his letter to the Department, writes :
" I have great pleasure in stating that no officer (in my opinion) could have
performed his duties better than did Commander Stevens during his arduous ser
vices off Charleston. I had many opportunities of judging of his conduct while
under the fire of the enemy, and was most favorably impressed by his coolness,
decision of character, professional knowledge, intelligence, and energy upon the
occasion of every conflict with the enemy off Charleston."
Admiral Bowan also says :
" I witnessed, upon one occasion, the gallant and intelligent conduct of this
officer while engaged with Fort Moultrie and its other defences. I also witnessed
his gallant bearing on the occasion of the Ironsides' attack on Fort Moultrie, when
he passed from his monitor to the Ironsides and back to his vessel in a boat, while
the fire of Moultrie and its surrounding batteries was concentrated on that ship."
Captain Stevens was also specially mentioned in Admiral Farragut's ' report of
the battle of Mobile Bay, and Captain, now Bear- Admiral, Le Boy took occasion
to say in reference to this action :
" Commander Stevens commanded one of the river iron-clads, and I had an
excellent opportunity toward the close of the action with the fleet of observing
the cool and gallant conduct of Commander Stevens. In my opinion, no officer
could have exhibited more coolness. Commander Stevens was outside the turrets,
perfectly exposed, and as the vessel I commanded was close alongside his ves
sel, both running for the ram Tennessee, and as my vessel was the faster and more
manageable, he cheered me with words of encouragement as I was passing."
The gallant and accomplished Captains Percival Drayton and C. B. P. Bodgers,
in their official reports of various operations against the enemy, make the most
honorable mention of this officer.
Captain C. B. P. Bodgers, now Bear- Admiral, says :
" He (Commander Stevens) commanded the expedition which captured Jackson
ville, and took possession of the St. John's Biver, where he displayed signal energy
and judgment.
" In these operations against the enemy, I constantly had occasion to observe
his imperturbable coolness, unflinching nerve, and thorough aptitude for command.
" I am much impressed with his devotion to his country, and the eminent
service he has rendered during the Bebellion."
The present Bear- Admiral, J. B. M. Mullany, says :
" I can state that Commander Stevens is known to myself, and the service gen
erally, as a gentlemanly and intelligent officer, distinguished for his coolness and
gallantry in battle, and for his loyalty to the country and its flag during the war,
and for his active efforts for the suppression of the late Bebellion, being foremost
upon all occasions in seeking active service. It is, perhaps, worthy of remark,
that while Commander Stevens was in command of an iron-clad, and under a very
heavy fire, from the forts at the entrance of Mobile Bay, on August 5, 1864, I
observed he kept his position outside the turret throughout the engagement."
Captain Daniel Ammen, now Bear- Admiral, says :

60 COMMODORES.
" Commander Stevens and myself were together in the attack on Port Eoyal,
afterwards in a demonstration on the city of Savannah, Georgia, in which I have
always thought he would have taken the city had he been in command."
Bear- Admiral J. L. Lardner says :
" Commander Stevens commanded the Ottawa, one of Admiral Du Pont's squad
ron, in part of the years 1861 and 1862. He performed his duty in a zealous,
efficient, and gallant manner at the capture of Port Boyal, on November 7, 1861,
and at the capture of Fort Clinch and Fernandina, Florida. At the latter place,
his vessel, the Ottawa, was the first and only vessel that got into the harbor on the
day of the capture, and Fort Clinch was taken possession of and occupied by
Commander Stevens."
Commander James E. Jouett, now Captain, says :
" As the executive-officer of the steamer Michigan, he performed his duties
promptly, efficiently, and faithfully, setting a noble example of officer-like conduct
and patriotism. Men were uncertain in those days. He stood boldly forth in depre
cating disloyalty. I served with him in the squadron off Mobile. He sustained
the high reputation he had previously made off Charleston, South Carolina, for
courage and dash. He was spoken of as the gallant Tom Stevens."

of 1848 ; afterward was attached to the store-ship Belief, in 1849, carrying sup
plies to the Mediterranean and Coast of Africa Squadron, until the summer of
1850 ; attached to Philadelphia Navy Yard from fall of 1850 to 1852, inclusive,
and then transferred to receiving-ship stationed at Philadelphia, until spring of
1853 ; became attached to the frigate Sacramento, then fitting for sea at Norfolk ;
was soon detached from her and placed on waiting orders.
Commissioned as Lieutenant, September 3, 1853 ; in the winter of 1853, was
ordered to sloop Germantown, and sailed in her in the spring of 1854, from
Boston to the coast of Brazil, and returned to the United States in February,
1857 ; attached to receiving-ship at Philadelphia, until the latter part of 1858 ;
sailed in the sloop Saratoga, in the fall of 1858, for the Gulf of Mexico, and
with the exception of forty days on board the Brooklyn, under Captain (now
Admiral) Farragut, served two years, and returned to the United States in the
Saratoga, in 1860 ; attached to the receiving-ship at Philadelphia, from 1860 to
spring of 1861 ; in the spring and summer of 1861, served in Chesapeake Bay,
keeping open communication between Annapolis and Havre de Grace, capturing
and destroying rebel vessels in the bay, and cutting off rebel supplies and com
munications. In the summer of 1861, received orders, and was attached to the
frigate Cumberland ; was detailed for duty on shore at Fortress Monroe ; trans
ported the troops across Hampton Creek, on the night prior to the battle of Big
Bethel, also transported them on their return after their unsuccessful attempt to
take that place. Volunteered and took the steamer Fannie (a canal-boat), secured
her boilers temporarily down to the deck with chains, and proceeded with her, in
company with the squadron, to the attack on Forts Hatteras and Clarke, in order
to have a light-draft vessel to operate in landing troops at that place ; superin
tended the landing of troops, until the heavy surf swamped and broke up the
boats and dashed them on the beach, when Lieutenant Crosby took a ship's heavy
launch and landed two more boatloads of troops, until the sea became so heavy
that it threw the launch upon the beach, dashing all the crew out of her on to,
the shore. After thus having landed three hundred men and officers, the squad
ron and transports, on account of the bad weather, stood off seaward, leaving the-
troops landed on the shore until the following day, when the squadron returned,.
opened fire, and captured the forts, which were garrisoned by over seven hundred!
men, who had been led to believe, by the display made. by the troops landed, that,
their force was over two thousand strong. In this way the rebels were deceived,.
and our troops were saved from attack and probable capture, as nearly all the-
ammunition was wet, and the volunteer troops, being in a disorganized state, couldi
not, in all probability, have successfully opposed double their number. Lieutenant
Crosby succeeded in getting a strong picket thrown across the point in front of the-
enemy's batteries, thus preventing their making a reconnoissance or ascertaining
the actual force of the Union troops, when the squadron returned on the following-
day, and relieved them from their critical position. Was especially mentioned in
General Butler's official report of the expedition. Captured several schooners-
running the blockade, they not knowing the forts had surrendered.
In the fall, and shortly after the capture of these forts, was ordered to the com
mand of the gunboat Pembino, fitting out at New York ;. but was taken danger
ously ill with typhoid fever, brought on by constant exposure, privations, and
fatigue in the performance of his duties. In the winter of 1861, took command
of the gunboat Pinola, at Baltimore ; took her to Washington, received her battery,,
and sailed for the Gulf Squadron, joining Admiral Farragut's command in the
spring of 1862. While on his way to joiil the squadron, captured the schooner
Cora, loaded with cotton, and sent her North as a prize. Commanded the Pinola
on the memorable night when she co-operated with the Itasca in breaking through,

the chain barrier across the Mississippi, at Forts Jackson and St. Philip. The
Itasca successfully slipped the end of the cable on the opposite shore to Fort
Jackson, and in so doing ran hard and fast aground, but through the skilful exer
tions of Commander Crosby, was rescued from her critical position, at about two
o'clock in the morning. The Pinola's duty on this occasion was to blow up with
torpedoes the vessels- holding the chain barrier, and anchored directly under Fort
Jackson's guns, — which was twice tried. The vessels were boarded, which imme
diately drew the fire of Fort Jackson ; torpedoes were placed in the hold, also
outside of the vessels, and everything carefully arranged ; but owing to the mass
of floating timber around the vessels, the strong current and dark night, the wires
attached to the galvanic battery and torpedoes were broken just as the attempt
was made to explode them. When the third attempt was about being made, a
boat arrived alongside, announcing the Itasca ashore, and in want of the Pinola's
assistance to get her afloat ; the attempt to blow up the vessels was reluctantly
given up for the time, to assist the Itasca, and in going to her assistance again
drew the fire of Fort Jackson. In the first attempt to pull the Itasca afloat, two
hawsers broke, but succeeded with an eleven-inch hawser the second time in pull
ing her off; and in doing this, the Pinola passed well up through the barrier
under Fort St. Philip, far enough to prove that the road was clear, but owing to
the heavy bombardment of the mortar-fleet, was not heard or seen.
Participated in the bombardment and passage of Forts Jackson and St. Philip,
Chalmette batteries, and capture of New Orleans; also in the bombardment,
passage, and re-passage of batteries at Vicksburg, and engagement with the rebel
iron-clad Arkansas. Blockaded off Mobile in the fall of 1862; was ordered

Dix, in command of the Army Corps at the White House. In the winter of
1863, took command of the Florida, destroyed two blockade-runners at Mason
boro' Inlet, while attempting to run the blockade, just at the break of day, and in
so doing drew the sharp fire of flying batteries on shore ; was transferred to the
••command of the Keystone State in 1864 ; captured five blockade-runners while in
.command of her, and caused many others to throw overboard their cargoes in
<order to escape. Detached from Keystone State, and ordered to the Muscoota ;
•detached from the Muscoota, and ordered to the Meticomel, 1864-5 ; blockaded
•off Galveston, Texas, and commanded her in the attack on Mobile. Planned and
-directed the construction of torpedo-nets, and spread them from shore to shore of
.the Blakely Biver, which caught all the floating torpedoes sent down to destroy

dred and forty torpedoes, and successfully cleared the track so as to allow the
squadron to pass up safely to the city of Mobile. Occupied Forts Huger and
Tracy on the night of the evacuation by the rebel forces ; was especially com
mended by Admiral Thatcher in his official report of the naval operations at that
port ; was detached from the Metacomet, on her return to Philadelphia, in August,

mortally wounded, were sent on board the Mohawk for medical treatment. He
continued on his course to the town and made fast to the wharf, sending one officer
on shore who communicated with two women, apparently the only inhabitants of
the town ; they assured him that the man alluded to had been wounded by some fool
ish boys, — the account did not satisfy him. He then offered to give these women
a safe conduct to Fernandiha, which they declined. He then determined to fire
In to the town, but upon the earnest solicitation of Colonel Eich, commanding 9th
Begiment, Maine Volunteers, decided to leave without molesting the place, upon

he would return and bombard the town. He had no sooner left the wharf than
volleys of musketry were opened upon him from different parts of the town. The
channel of the river was so narrow that he was obliged to drop anchor in order to
get the vessel's head up stream, and as soon as this could be done he opened fire
upon the town and destroyed the greater portion of it, completely driving the
rebels out of the place. He subsequently learned that one hundred and fifty men
were concealed there.

and on duty in James Biver from May to October, 1864. Engagement with

Commander Ehind of the Agawam, and the officers and men under his command,
. in the engagement with three rebel batteries, August 13, 1864, reported to the
Department by Captain Smith, divisional commander on the James Biver." Com

men being taken, off by the steamer Wilderness. Bear -Admiral Porter, in his
official report to the Navy Department, says, " In conclusion, allow me to draw your
attention to Commander Ehind and Lieutenant Preston. They engaged in the
most perilous adventure that was, perhaps, ever undertaken. As an incentive to
others I beg leave to recommend them for promotion. No one in the squadron
considered that their lives would be saved, and Commander Bhind and Lieutenant
Preston had made an arrangement to sacrifice themselves in case the vessel was
boarded, a thing likely to happen." Commanding receiving-ship Vermont, New

hot shot from the former, lodging in a knee within ten feet of her open magazine
hatch. To discover and dislodge it by use of axes, from the berth-deck, now
filled with smoke, — to extinguish the fire and prevent a panic — that seemed im
minent in the trying circumstances, — was effected by the prompt presence there
and personal intrepidity of the commander. He participated in that morning's
destruction of the enemy's fleet above the forts, in the capture of New Orleans,

Commissioned as Lieutenant- Commander, July 16, 1862 ; commanding steamer
Hatteras, Western Gulf Blockading Squadron, 1862-3. On January 11, 1863,
the Hatteras, while at anchor off Galveston, Texas, was ordered by signal from
the Brooklyn, flag-ship of the division blockading Galveston, to chase a sail to the
southward and eastward. Commander Blake at once obeyed the signal, and steamed
at all speed in the direction indicated, and rapidly gained upon the suspicious
vessel, which was discovered to be a steamer. When within about four miles of
the vessel, it was observed that she had ceased to steam, and was lying " broadside
on," awaiting the approach of the Hatteras. When at about the distance of
seventy-five yards, Commander Blake hailed, and asked, " What steamer is that?"
'The reply was, " Her Britannic Majesty's ship Vixen." Captain Blake ordered
a boat to be sent aboard, but before the order could be obeyed, the commander of

the strange craft hailed and said, " We are the Confederate steamer Alabama,"
which was accompanied by a broadside. The Hatteras returned the fire almost
instantly, and steamed directly for the Alabama in the hope to carry her by board
ing ; but the attempt was defeated by the commander of the piratical craft. At
length a shell entered the hold of the Hatteras, and at the same instant another
shell passed through the " sick-bay," exploding in an adjoining compartment, and
setting fire to the vessel. Still another shell entered the cylinder, filling the en
gine-room and deck with steam, and depriving Commander Blake of all power to
manoeuvre his vessel or work the pumps, upon which the reduction of the fire de
pended. With the vessel on fire in two places, and her engine disabled, Com
mander Blake felt that it was useless to sacrifice the lives of his command, and so
ordered a lee gun to be fired. The Alabama then asked if assistance was desired,
to which an affirmative answer was given. After considerable delay, the Ala
bama sent assistance, and the crew and officers of the Hatteras were transferred
to the Alabama. Ten minutes after the crew left her decks, the Hatteras went
down bow first. The battery upon the Alabama brought into action against the
Hatteras numbered seven guns, consisting of four long 32-pounders, one 100-
pounder rifled gun, one 68-pounder, and one 24-pounder rifled gun. The guns
used in the action by the Hatteras were two short 32-pounders, one 30-pounder
rifled Parrot, and one 20-pounder rifled gun. The action was fought at a distance
of about seventy-five yards. The crew of the Hatteras were landed at Port
Boyal, Jamaica, and were with all despatch conveyed from Port Boyal to Kingston,
under the guidance of the American Vice-Consul, John N. Camp. Commanding

when you sailed from Melbourne to the Auckland Islands to support there the
members of the German Expedition.
" These members have also pointed out in the report the readiness with which
you put at their disposal the chronometers of the Swatara, — a kindness which
has facilitated the German Expedition in their work to determine the longitude
of the Auckland station.
" In consequence thereof, the Chancellor of the German Empire, Prince Bis
marck, has instructed me to tender to you his warmest thanks for your noble and
valuable support accorded to our countrymen.
" It affords me a great honor and pleasure to execute such order of Prince
Bismarck by this letter, and I beg you, sir, to accept on this occasion the assur

took command of his flag-ship, the Black Hawk ; served in that capacity during
Admiral Porter's command, and was present, or connected with all the most im
portant operations on the Mississippi Eiver and its tributaries during that officer s
command ; at the close of the Bed Eiver Expedition was recommended, with
certain other commanding officers, for promotion to Commander.

services on that occasion. His services throughout the Civil War are thus honor
ably mentioned by Admiral Porter in his " commendatory despatch" of January
28, 1865 : " Lieutenant-Commander K. E. Breese, my Fleet-Captain, has been
with me nearly all the time since the Bebellion broke out. In command of a
division of the Mortar Flotilla, which opened the way to New Orleans, he made his
first record there. In the Mississippi with me for two years, engaged in harass
ing and dangerous duties, he always acquitted himself to my satisfaction. In
charge of the mortars at the siege of Vicksburg, he helped to hasten the surrender

CAPTAINS. 119
of that stronghold. At Fort Fisher he led the boarders in the assault, and,
though we were not successful in getting into the fort in the face of equal num
bers, yet that assault gained the day, as is generally admitted on every side.
Our troops obtained a footing without much resistance, then nobly maintained
what they had won. Lieutenant-Commander Breese did all he could to rally his
men, and made two or three unsuccessful attempts to regain the parapet ; but the
marines having failed in their duty to support the gallant officers and sailors, who
took the lead, he had to retire to a place of safety. He did not, however, lose the
ground, but remained under the parapet in a rifle-pit, using a musket until night
favored his escape. He is a clever, gallant officer, and I strongly recommend his
immediate promotion to a commander." August, 1865, was ordered to the Naval

Extract from Address to the Mathematical and Physical Section of the British

F.E.S., President of the Section :
" I wish I could speak to you of the veteran Henry, generous rival of Faraday
in electro-magnetic discovery ; of Peirce, the founder of high mathematics in
America ; of Bache, and of the splendid heritage he has left to America and to
the world in the United States Coast Survey ; of the great school of astronomers
which followed Gould, Newton, Newcomb, Watson, Young, Alvan Clarke, Euther-
ford, Draper (father and son) ; of Commander Belknap and his great exploration
of the Pacific depths by piano-forte wire, with imperfect apparatus supplied from
Glasgow, out of which he forced a success in his own way."

SUBGEON-GENEEAL WILLIAM MAXWELL WOOD,
Born in Maryland. Appointed from Maryland, May 16, 1829; entered the
service as Assistant Surgeon; Navy Yard, Pensacola, 1830-1 ; schooner Grampus,
West India Squadron, 1832-3; special duty, 1834—7. Commissioned as Surgeon,

time in co-operation with the army in the Seminole War ; Naval Station, Balti
more, 1843 ; Fleet^Surgeon, Pacific Squadron, 1844-6 ; in this period he rendered
the service referred to in the following official documents. Commodore Sloat,
Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Squadron, writes him : "lam most happy to
acknowledge the very important services you rendered the government, and the
squadron in the Pacific, under my. command, at the breaking out of the Mexican
War. The information you furnished me at Mazatlan, from Guadalaxara (at the
risk of your life), was the only reliable information I received of that event, and
which induced me to proceed immediately to California, and upon my own respon
sibility to take possession of that country. I have always considered the per
formance of your journey through Mexico at that time as an extraordinary feat,
requiring great presence of mind and address. How you escaped from the heart
of an enemy's country and such a people has always been a wonder to me, and has
been so characterized on all occasions." The Chairman of the Naval Committee
of the Senate commented on his valuable services as follows : ". Every intelligent
mind must at once appreciate the importance of the service which you have ren
dered the country, and your personal hazard in travelling through the heart of the
enemy's country, communicating with your military superior, and furnishing him
with the sole and otherwise unattainable information upon which he based the
acquisition of California. The importance of this acquisition can best be esti
mated by asking ourselves, what would have been our national position in the
Pacific and upon our Oregon frontier had Great Britain, instead of ourselves,
acquired permanent possession of it ? I have always contended that its acquisi
tion constitutes one of the navy's strongest claims upon the gratitude of the na
tion, and this chapter in its history, furnished by your own service, but strengthens
this conviction." Beceiving-ship, Baltimore, 1847-8 ; steamer Michigan, on the

" Sir, — In accordance with the instructions received from Major-General
Commanding the Division, I proceeded this morning to Beading, Pennsylvania.
Found the detachment of United States marines, commanded by Brevet Lieu
tenant-Colonel Heywood, quartered in the railroad depot. After stating to the
commanding officer that I was sent by the Major-General Commanding expressly
to ascertain if he could in any way contribute to the health and comfort of the
detachment, I was taken to the room occupied as a temporary hospital by the
surgeon in charge, where I found everything scrupulously clean and neat, showing
that the medical officers and their assistants not only understand their several
duties, but faithfully and efficiently performed them. The sanitary state of the
command is excellent, and the officers evidently take great pride in looking after
the health and comfort of the men. I do not recollect of ever having seen a more
soldierly set of men or a more orderly and well-behaved set, proving that they are
under most excellent discipline. These men seemed to be so well taken care of by

MARINE CORPS. 381
their officers that I really cannot see what the Major-General Commanding can do
to add to their health or comfort. It is quite remarkable that men performing
Buch service are able to keep themselves and their arms, etc., so very clean and
neat. " I have the honor to be, very respectfully,

to perform the duties of the corps, Captain Forney was obliged to decline. In

Captain Forney was ordered to take command of a battalion of marines and a
battery of howitzers, and proceed from Philadelphia to Havre de Grace, Maryland,
to open the railroad to Baltimore, then in possession of the rebels. The conduct
of Captain Forney on this occasion elicited a highly complimentary letter from
Major-General French, in which he says, " The battalion commanded by Captain
Forney attracted my attention by its fine military appearance, its discipline, and
the admirable manner in which it was handled. The arrangements made by Cap
tain Forney for the artillery to repel the attack threatened upon the station had
a great influence in preventing one. The rapid manner in which the order con
centrating the troops at Havre de Grace was obeyed by him, and the valuable and
effective services performed by the battalion under his direction, entitle him and
them to the recognition of the government." Eecruiting rendezvous, Philadelphia,

THE
PENN MUTUAL
LIFE mSUKAIOE COMPANY
OF PHILADELPHIA.

IT IS A PURELY MUTUAL COMPANY.
The Only One Chartered by the State of Pennsylvania.

The Company received its first premium on policy No. 1, of $154,78, on May
25th, 1847.
On the 1st of January, 1878, it had been in existence over thirty years, and, having
many years confined its business to the States of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and
Delaware, had at that date issued over 23,000 Policies for Seventy-two millions
of dollars of Insurance.
The aggregate transactions of the Company were as fojlows :
RECEIPTS: Premiums Received  $12,814,670.08
Interest Received  3,904,851.35
Total  $16,719,521.43
DISBURSEMENTS : Death Claims and Endowments Paid . . $3,842,099.68
Dividends, or Surplus Returned . . . 3,799,242.24
Surrendered Policies  764,116.33
TOTAL RETURNED TO POLICY-HOLDERS .... $8,405,458.25
Commissions to Agents and Expenses . . 2,002,724.82
Taxes  126,713.83
Re-insurance  121,121.31
REMAINDER ; being Net Assets as per Annual Report . . . 6,063,503.22
$16,719,521.43
Over 65 per cent, of the Premium Receipts has been returned to the policy-holders
since organization, in dividends, death claims, etc.
This is a larger percentage of return to policy-holders than that made by any other
company in the United States.
Less than 12 per cent, has been absorbed by commissions, agency charges, expenses
of management, etc.
Particular attention is called to the Life-Rate Non-Forfeitable Endowment Policy,
which, while giving protection to the family of the insured in case of his early death,
also provides, at moderate rates of premium, a fund for future support should he
