Against Shore Swamng With Enemies-Ene Success OF

The U. s. Frigate Colorado. Capt.
Theodorus Bailey commanding, left
Boston HarbOr on the 18th of June,
1861, for Pensacola, Fla, as the flag
ship of Flag-Oficer William Mervine.
After stopping for coal at Keywest she
anchored off the bar at Pensacola Har-
bor, where Flag Officer Mervine trans
ferred his flag from the U. S. steamer
Mississippi to the Colorado.
Fort Pickens, on Santa Rosa Island,
was the ehly spot in possession Of the
Union forces. while the Confederate
flag, over bristling guns, lined the shore
on the opposite side from Fort McRae
to the Navy Yard with a force of some
5000 men under Gen. Bragg. Col.
Harvey Brown commanded the Union
forces at Fort Pickens, which, thanks
to Slemmer, did not fall into rebel
hands, and which kept vigil over the
forts and Navy Yard, which through
cowardice or vacillation, were in the
hands of the enemy.
MonotOnous Life on Shipboard.
There was nothing to break the mo-
notony of ship life, save the daily
drills and occasional visit to Fort
Pickens to consult with Col. Brown, and
obtain what information he might be
possessed Of I'm regard to the enemy's
movements On one Of those visits
Capt Bailey spoke of a schooner which,
fully armed and equipped, made daily
tests of her speed in the bay, and had
openly stated that the first dark night
they would escape and assist the Ala
bama in her destruction of Union ves-
sells. Frequent futile attempts had been
made to reach her with a shot from the
Colorado. The destruction Of this
schooner judah (named after judah p.

indication should be given to the en-
emy; silently each boat was supplied
with arms, ammunition and inf1amma-
BILE material for firing the schooner; all
had been drilled in their respective du-
ties. The weather was mild and pleas
ant, the stars partially Obscured by the
light, fleecy scud which fioated lazily
overhead. The moon, which was near
ly down, could be seen at intervals; the
surface Of the water was dark and
smooth as glass, while short distance
off objects could only be distinguished
with sharp eyes. All were in the boats
waiting silently for Lieut.. Russell, the
commanding officer. They had each
left some word or token with ship
mate to send to the loved ones at home,
for few If any expected to return; but
the last word Of instruction had been
given and Lieut.. Russell makes his ap-

shipman Higginson to shove off. They
leave ship and home, followed by the
other boats. Like shadows, with muf-
fed oars. they pull out from the deep
obscurity of the huge vessels side, dis
thrilling interest by their shipmates
until they disappear from view-for

After about an hours pull we landed; ;
the commanding officer ordered the Of
fcers and crew to remain with their
boats, while he, with Lieut.. Blake, went
up to see Col. Brown (besides which

Lieut.. Langdon, of the Army, now Col.
onel was anxious to go with the expe-
dition, as he was a gallant officer and
would be a great acquisition to the
party. Lieut.. Russell had Informed hin,
that IL he found him in the boat after
leaving he would take him along.) Col
Brown Informed Lieut.. Russell that he
would be all ready to open fire If he
was fired on; that he had sent out and
given orders to the sentinels, by Lieut.
LanGdon, not to hail our boats. (This
stopped Langdon's chances Of going in
the expedition, which was much re-
gretted).
After some further conversation, bid

Russell, do something" to which he
replied:

Leaving the Fort.
At IL p. m. we left Fort Pickens just
as the moon went down, Lieut.. Sproston

This assignment was made for the
following reasons: Lieut.. Sproston and
Steece were to pull across. capture and

which was guarded by the sentinel,
while Lieut.. Blake boarded the schoon-
er on the quarter and set her on fire in
the cabin; Lieut.. Russell would board
on the bow, taking the heaviest fire.
The schooner was lying bows out.
Silently they pulled until it became
apparent to Lieut.. Russell that Lieut..
Sproston. instead Of rounding Santa
Rosa. was pulling across and would
soon be under Fort McRae. He hailed
Lieut.. Blake to know the reason why
he did not round the island. who re-
piled: II do not know" Lieut.. Blake
was then ordered to take the lead and
Lieut.. Blake could be depended on to
do his duty thoroughly and efficiently.
He was gallant officer, and the ser
vice sustained a great loss when he re-
signed and entered the banking firm of
Blake & Bros, in London, as one of the

strong current on the Santa Rosa Is

men. Lieut.. Russell remarked:

before long," Lieut.. Russell sat on the
taffrail with Charles Lamphere. Cox

Just before o'clock q. m. the sheers
were seen. which showed the locality
of the schooner. Lieut.. Russell im-
mediately ordered Lieut.. Sproston to re-
sumo his position as leader and carry
out his orders, and for Lieut.. Blake to
fall back into his position. This was
quietly and quickly done, and the boats
proceeded, as yet, unmolested.

edly Dana's estimates had very much
TO do with retaining Grant in his posi-
ton.
What Next:
The failure of the Deer Creek and
Sunfower route to reach the high land
above Haynes's Bluff was accepted by
all as ending the prospects of striking
the rear of Vicksburg from the Missis-
Sippi River above the city. The burn
ing question then became what was to
be done next with the great army which
had been lying around Miliken's Bend
The Spring was coming on rapidly, and
1t could not lie idle. Jeff Davis, John
ston and Pemberton were of the opin-
ion that the army would be sent back
up the river to reinforce Rosecrans for
