Her Majesty's spoons.

A CONFEDERATE CRUISER.
Amount Captured by the PrivnteeI
Shenandoah in Eight MONTH";


From the Atlanta Constitution
Just what one little privateer can do has
teen revealed by the short career of the
Confederate cruiser Shenandoah. She was
actually cruising for the destruction of
Union property but eight months, and dur
ing that time she captured and destroyed
vessels to the value of 81 10000. and the
United States had never been able to direct
q blow against her. She had visited evary
ocean except the Antarctic. covering dis
tance of 5000 statute miles. She destroyed
Tnany whalers in the Arctic ocean. 1t was
there that the last gun for the southern
cause was fired. 1t was fired from the deck
of the priyateer cruiser Shenandoah, by
Commander James Ireland Waddell. on
June - 1865. JUST seventy-four days after
th= surrender of Lee at Appomattox.
Commander Waddell could not persuade
himself to enter an American port. and for
some tine aimesSly secured the seas. In
August, however. he spoke the English ship
Barracuda, bound from San Francisco to
Liverpool, and from her received conclusive
evidence of the end of the war between the
states. He resolved to seek an English port,
and November > the Shenandoah en-
tered St George channel. having sailed ID
600 miles without seeing land. On Novem-
Der Is she steamed up the Mersey, and, the
confederate flag having been hauled down
by Comma nder Waddell he sent n COM
municatiOn to Earl Russell English min
lister of foreign affairs placing his ship at
the disposal of the British government
Through Earl Russell the vessel was trans
feTred 10 the jurisdiction of the American
minister. Charles Francis Adams, who
caused her to be conveyed to this country
to be dismantled.
