THE TIMEs-RICHMOND VA SUNDAY MARCH 1894

At that moment Captain Reid justified
his reputation for quick thought and in
trepii daring In an emergency. Without
hesitation or pariey he ran up the United
states flag. and ordered his man al the
wheel to hold the ship as steady as
might be and steer her boldly toward the
enemy. In exemplihcation Of the adage
that 1t Is an i'll wind that blows nobody
any good, the gale assisted rather than
retarded his yenturous design: for the
Sumter at that moment found herself
running with the wind instead OF against

with splendid seamanship, carried her

1t was when well inside Of the crescent

gsrous moment came; for, with the
United States flag Haunting to the fore,
he became mark for the guns OF the
fort. Taking the chance Of several shots
while the wind carried him forward under
the protection of the fleet, he suddenly
hauled down the United States flag anu
ran up the Confederate.
Il required little time for the ships OF
the fleet to come to a full understanulns
