In millinery all black effects are fash
ionable, as are also all white effects.
The Washington herald., 1913-12-27

Here the Alabama captured the Boston
bark Sea Bride, laden with assorted pro-
visions Capt. Semmes now ordered the
Tuscaloosa TO Simons Bay. and thence to
Angra Pequena, an uninhabited harbor
on the west coast of Africa.
Here the Alabama and Sea Bride came
also. The cargo of the Conrad was
landed and sold to a speculatOr who had
come up from Cape Town for the pur-
pose of buying it. He also purchased the
Sea Bride and her cargo.
The Tuscaloosa, or Conrad, after land
ing her cargo (Which subsequently was
Tecaptured by the Federalsl. put to sea
for a cruise in the South Atlantic. Calls
were made at st. Helena, Ascension
Island, and St. GATHERINGS. on the
coast of Brazil. At the latter place the
authorities refused to provide the Tusca-
loosa with supplies, on the ground that
the Alabama had violated the neutrality
of Brazil by harborng at the Island of
Fernando de NOronha the previous
spring.
From the Brazilian coast the bark pro-
ceeded to the Island of Tristan de Cunha,
expecting to fall in with American whal-
ing vessels there None being met with,

ship with a neutral cargo, which he
released under bond.
Arriving at Simons Bay in the even
ing Of December s6, Lieut.. Low FOUND
there her majesty's ship Narcissus' slr
Baldwin Walker, commander.
The next day a boats crew from the
Narcissus boarded the Tuscaloosa and
took possession of her. Lieut. Low yielded
command of the vessel under protest
which he put in writing.
He claimed the Tuscaloosa was reg
ularly commissioned ship OF belllgeren'
power; that she had already been recoS.
nized in that character at that port, and
that, having been absent on cruise
and her commander having received nc
notice or warning of a change of opinion
on the part of the British authorities
regarding her status, she had returned to
Sfmons Bay in good faith. to secure
necessaries for further voyagtng.
Lieut. Low stated that he had been
..first misled and next entrapped. He
demanded the release of his ship, de-
claring that his position and the char
acter of his ship would most certainly
be yindicated by the Confederate
States"
To this protest the British authorities
at the Cape replied that the vessel had
first been admitted to the ports there un-
der a misapprehension Of her character,
and that il had since been held by her
majesty's government that she was an
uncondemned prize and could not legally
be brought into a British port. For that
reason she had been detained.
The vessel was ordered turned over to

Alabama" to meet the Alabama at the
cape of Good Hope.
That his points were well taken events
in the career of the Tuscaloosa were to
prove. On her arrival there August 5,
1863. the British authorities accepted her
as a vessel of war, and gave her liberty
If the South African ports. Later they
changed their minds. On her touching
at the Cape a second time they seized
her Eventually they were to reverse
their decision as to the status Of the
vessel and order her restored to the
COnfCdcrates
Thus Commander Semme5 was to prove
himself a better lawyer than the men,

upon the status of the Tuscaloosa.

nal. of about $50 tons. with good sail
ing qualities. ! resolved to commission
her as a cruiser. Three or four officers
and a dozen men would be a sufficient
rev for her, and this small number
could spare from the Alabama.
Never before, perhaps, was a ship

| forwarded to London.
After waiting three weeks at the Cape
| in hope the Alabama might return from
| China, Lieut.. Low and his fellow officers
| embarked for England.
While he was on the sea the status OF
| the Tuscaloosa was discussed in Parlia-
ment Questions were addressed to the
prime minister, which led TO a review OF
the case, and on March 4. 1864. the vessel
was ordered restored TO the Confederates.
Before the order reached Cape Town the
| Alabama touched there and Commander
Semmes submitted TO the local authorities
| an able brief, in which he argued that
| the Tuscaloosa was properly a vessel OF
| war.
The Alabama then proceeded and was
| in the North Atlantic before Commander
Semmes knew that the Tuscaloosa had
been ordered to be restored to him. When
months later he learned of the disposition
of the case. he noted in his journal with
| some satisfaction that besides embalm-
! ing the beautiful name Tuscaloosa in
history, this prize ship settled law point
had been long contesting-that one ma
| tion cannot inquire into the antecedents
| of the ships-of-war of another nation"
Events were now moving so rapidly in
the receding fortunes of the Confederacy
lndt tne TUSCALOOSA remained unclaimed
at Cape Town until the end of the war,
being claimed eventually by her owners.
BY curious circumstance her cargo of
wool found~its way to its original desti-
nation, New York, on board an English
vessel that became prize to the u. S. S.
