An article entitled Starving the
Confederacy," which tells of the block

their signal lights along the shore to
guide the blockade runners. Our ship
was the Sacramento, a new bark-rig-
ged steamer of about 1900 tons, built
at Kittery (Me) navy yard. Our first
lieutenant was Benham, now Admiral
Benham. We were stationed at West
Bar. The writer OF that article speaks
of the running ashore of the blockade
runner Kate on the eastern end of
Smiths island. 1 remember that well,
writes w. G.. Pert, quartermaster on
the U. s. S. Sacramento, now living in
Sedgwick, Me-. in the National Trib-
une.
II is Of the chase OF the blockade
runner Giraffe (Capt. Wilkinson) that
l particularly want to write. Wilkin-
son says that n sloop-of-war chased
him all day, and tells of the ruse by
which he got away. The Sacramento
went into Beaufort some time in April,
1863, to coal up, which would take us
some four or FIVE days. l remember
the morning we came out, beautiful
morning with a light breeze from the
north. About 10 o. clock a. m. we made
out black smoke off to the southeast,
and at once went after It. In an
hours run lookout aloft made her out
to be large steamer. The captain
ordered all sail set. and soon we saw
that she had discovered us and was
standing directly away.
In the meantime the wind had in
creased and heavy clouds were COM

the wind was blowing heavily, with
frequent rain squalls, and we had to
shorten sail. Sull we were stead
lily gaining on her, and Just before II
shut down thick dark we were near
enough to have reached her with the
rifled gun on our forecastle, but 1t was
so rough that we could not cast tho
gun loose. We were now getting off
into the current of the gulf stream,

kicks up an ugly sea, and we were
compelled to see that prize slip away
into the darkness.
| We heard afterwards that IL was the
Giraffe. Had 1t been clear weather
we could have taken her sure. After
standing along awhile we took in sail
and brought the ship up to the wind,
steaming ahead just enough to keep
steerage way on her; but, taking all
sails off her, there was nothing TO
steady her, and she rocked fearfully.
Soon after 10 o'clock, as she took a
deep roll to starboard, a sea broke
into the first cutter that was hang
ing at her cranes at the starboard
forerigging, and took It away with n
man that was standing in It on look
out. Instantly the cry Of Man over

versed to stop headway. The officer
OF the deck ordered Pipe away the
