Capt. Usina did not intend these
words to be quoted when he uttered
them, but they indicated the true char
acter of the man and spoke for the
character of the blockade runners of
whom he was a representative.
Turned Back to Save HIS Ship.
There was one time when Capt
Usina turned back, but it was to save
his ship and cargo, and it was we'll for
him that he did. 1t was along toward
the close of the war when he left the
Bermudas with fleet of blockade
runners, all bound for Wilmington.
Fort Fisher had fallen, but the block
ade runners were not aware of this fact.
| The Federals, in capturing the fort,
| had learned the secret plans and sig
nails used in communicating with the
vessels running the blockade. Capt.
Usina worked his vesesl in slowly after
nightfall, passing inside the lines of
the blockade fleet. Suddenly the whole
harbor was illuminated and he was re-
vealed to the blockading warships
around him. Instead of opening fire
on him they took no notice. This was
too kind treatment at their hands, and
the young blockade runners suspicious
were at once aroused. He exchanged
signals with the fort in the usual man
ner and was told that all was we'll,
and that Col Lamb. the commandant,
would come aboard to take dinner
with him the next day.
AS a matter of fact Col. Lamp was
then a prisoner and desperately wound
ed. The signals did not deceive the
captain. The attitude of the federal
fleet was too benevolent for him and he
quietly slipped out of port and put
back to sea, much to the disgust of
some of his passengers, who could not
| understand why he failed to enter the
harbor. The first Information given

over $50 Savannahians, accompanied
by about fifty members of the Bruins
wick Rifles will leave tomorrow morn
ing over the Central for Augusta.
Seven coaches have been engaged. The
men, as well as the members of the
First Regiment Band, are actively en-
gagged in making preparations for
camp, and are looking forward to the
encampment eagerly. The employers
of the men have been very kind and
indulgent. and as a result there will
be about 500 members of the regiment
in camp at Augusta.
