his ship to within $50 feet Of the wallis
of Fort Sumter, drawing the fire OF all
the forts upon her. She was struck
ninety times In thirty minutes and nine
teen shot hit her below the water line.
She floated during the night, but sank
early the following mornig, but all hands
were saved. 1t was at the attack on

Rhind and Lieut.. Preston engaged in the
most perilous adventure that was per-
! haps ever undertaken. AS an incentive
to others, beg leave to recommend them
for promotion. None in the squadron
considered that their lives would be
saved, and Commander Rhind and
Lieut. Preston had made an arrange
ment to sacrifice themselves in case the
vessel was boarded, thing likely to
happen"
At the close Of the war Capt. Rhind
served on the Congress for a time, waa
lighter inspector in 1S76-7S. when he was

seeing their predicament. swarmed out
on the higher ground and hurled down
rocks upon them and closed around the
