QOr6 CONVERSE III COHlLuduu, duu III 1ooo
was the flagship OF the home squadron
in command of Commodore Fender
grast. She sailed from the Navy yard
at Portsmouth, n. H., in September
1860, and was stationed in the Gulf of
Mexico, near Vera Cruz until Febru-
ary. 1861, when the rapid progress of
events led to the secession of the Gulf
States and caused her recall to Hamp
den Roads, where she arrived in March,
1861.
At that time the excitement ran very
high at Norfolk and many Inducements
were held out for the crew to desert,
but few yielded to the temptation.
Subsequently all the officers resigned
with the exception of Commodore Pen
dergrast, Junior Lieut.. Thomas Self
ridge of Portland, Me-, and Lieut.. Har-
good of the Marine Corps. In the light
of the present day it is easy to see why
SO large a portion of our Navy was
huddled together at the Gosport Navy
ward near Norfolk, which was within
the borders of at least doubtful State
If the Hon. Isaac Tousey, then Secre-
tary of the Navy, was Union man he
was a thin skinned one, for he was in
the hands OF those who subsequently
proved traitors to their country. By
their advice he had ordered nearly one
fourth of our navy to the Norfolk Navy
yard to re-fit. His, or their, object be-
came apparent. But it is not so easy
to understand why the Hon. Gideon
Welles, Secretary of the Navy under
President Lincoln, who became secre-
tary March 4th, 1861, continued to
order ships to that yard instead Of get
ting them away from there. 1t was
late in the month of March when the
Cumberland was ordered to that yard
to reft, and where she was moored
