FLAa-SHlP WABASH, PoRr ROYAL HARBoR
June 15.-Sr;-I have the honor to report to
the Department that, on the night Of the 5lh
inst, q steamer attempted to run out oi
Charleston. She was turned back by the
Massachusetts,, which pursued her over the bar,
firing at her repeatedly. The steamer was
sunk.
From subsequent information from two de.
serters from Charleston, whom send North by
the Massachusetts, there is reason to believe
the vessel was the Isaac Smith. .
On the night Of the 10Th inst. another steam
er attempted to run the blockade into Charles.
ton by the Sandford Channel. She was fired
at by several of the vessels, but in the darkness
eluded them.
On the next morning at daylight she was dis
covered at the north end of Folly Island on
fire, which, however, did not destroy the yes.
sci. She was large side-wheel steamer, and
is supposed by Commodore Turner to be the
Havelock, but this Is not certainly known.
