HIS DARING EXPLOITS IN THO CoNFED-
ERATE sERvICk DURING THE WAR.
! The exploit of Admiral Hobart Pasha,
of the Turkish navy, in passing down
the Danube under the very guns Of the
Russiaian batteries at GalatZ, as described
! in the recent London dispatches, recalls
to memory the career Of this adventurous
man as a blockade runner in America
during the war of the rebellion. Capt.
George Forsyth, of Charleston, formerly
an officer in the Confederate navy. and
at present visiting in New York, gave to
Tribune reporter on Wednesday evening
the following particulars of Admiral then
Commandant) Hobarts experience in
this country. AT the outbreak of the
war number of wealthy merchants in
England formed an association, the OBJ
ject of which was to assist the Southern
cause. Commandant Hobart and sever
al other officers in the English navy were
enlisted in the cause and sent to the
Southern States, where their services
were eagerly accepted. Hobart landed
at Charleston in the summer or fall of
1861, and was at once assigned to naval
duties. He soon developed taste for dar-
ing adventure, and attracted attention by
his success III capturing several small
Union vessels and greatly damaging 9TH
ers. In the following spring he was
placed III charge of a blockade runner on
the Atlantic coast, where he did valuable
work for the Contederates. He was soon
after recalled to the gulf, and for nearly
year was on the staff of the admiral
commanding at Pensacola The numer-
Gus successful attacks upon the Union
fleets and the daring blockade running in
the vicinity are credited in the main to
his planning and bold execution. In 1868
he was again put in command of several
blockade runners, and then began the
series of exploits which created admra-
ton for the skill and bravery displayed
in their execution. 1t is estimated that
Hobart was engaged in no less than twen-
ty such undertakings, all of which were
exceedingly annoying, and in many in
stances uisaste.ous TO the Union cause =.
Hobart was about 40 years of age when
he arrived in this country. He was
heavy-built man, of dark complexion, and
was noted for his imperious bearing and
the ardor with which he prosecuted every
undertaking. He went to England in
the spring of 1864, on account, ii is said,
of difficulty with the officer of the Con-
tederate government.
