BRITISH STEAMER GREYHOUND.
The Most Valuable Prize Captured BY
the Navy.

The Most Valuable Prize Captured by
the Navy.
Editor National Tribune: It may in
terest your readers to learn what was
the most valuable prize captured by our
Navy during the civil war. 1t was the
British steamed Greyhound, which was
condemned at Boston, Mass, in June,
1864. and sold for $497,S58.55.
The Greyhound ran the blockade at
Wilmington, N. c.. on the night Of May
8, 1854, and was captured on the fol-
lowing day, May 10, at sea, 100 miles
southeast OF the Cape Fear River, by
Capt. John ]. Almy, Of the gunboat
Connecticut.
The vessel was built at Liverpool,
England, in December, 1863, and when
captured her cargo consisted of 500
bales of cotton, 35 tons of tobacco, and
25 casks Of turpentine. She was COM
manded by Capt. George Henry, who
was q Lieutenant in the so-called Con-
federate navy.
The vessel was fired at repeatedly
during the chase, and part of the cargo
was thrown overheard. The cost Of her
condemnation was $12.896.54. One
half of the remainder was divided
among the crew of the Connecticut,
there being no other vessel I'm sight
when the capture was made.
Capt. John ]. Almy entered the u.
s. Navy as Midshipman, Feb. 2, 1927,
and retired April "A, 1877.-William

He says that while much has been
heard Of the sufferings of prisoners of

hardships endured. He is yet deeply
indebted to the soldiers OF Co. B, LIST

with a live coal, and the barrel rolled
over the parapet by two OF our sappers.
The barrel went true to its destination
and exploded with terrific force. Tim

into the air in all directions and the
sappers were once more compelled to
retire. They renewed their operations,
however, at night, and in a few days
succeeded in establishing their mine

HERON has shown a great deal more
both OF capacity and force than either
OF them. But he has not the first great
requisite of soldier, obedience to or
ders. and believes too much in doing
things his own way. Thus for 10 days
after he had taken his position he dis
regarded the order properly to picket
the bottom between the bluff and the
river on his left. He had made up his
own mind that nobody could get out Of
the town by that way. and accordingly
neglected to have the place thoroughly
examined in order to render the matter
clear and certain. Presently Grant dis
covered that men from the town were
making their escape through that bot
tom, and then a more peremptory COM
mand to Heron set the matter right by
the establishment Of the necessary pick
cts.

formerly commanded a brigade in Lo-

been detached to separate command

time been at Grants headquarters, do
