about 10 miles east OF Portland, Ne,
II captured the schooner Archer. Read
approaching that many vessels must
by this time be in search OF him, de-
cided to quit the Tacony This he
did by transferring to the Archer. af-
ter which the TacOny was fired.
Read now planned to slip into Port

that port He passed into the port

lenged and about 8 o'clock Of June %.

Read found II expedient to get to sea

Cushing he made sail. and managed

he wind failed and the Cushing lay
necalued few miles beyond the port.

we're ordered TO send out ever avail
able craft, to charter and seize II
need be any suitable craft capable OF
steaming within forty-eight hours. A
week after the first instructions were
sent out the navy department wired
| to charter more steamers. In all
uore than forty steamers cruised In
search OF the Tacony. but not once was
that vessel sighted. The whole DC
currcnCe indicated, naval men say
that it is of little use to inaugurate
search unless ii is done in an in
tlligent manner and there was ever
Indication that the search for the Ia
cony in SG3 was without any central
control.
The Tacony affair has been used as
striking illustration in naval prob
lens in matters having to do with
scout patrols. 1t was afterward shown
that several of the searching craft
we're at times very close to the Ia,
cony, but owing to a well-establlshed
system of control the Confederate was
able to slip through the Gordon thai
it was attempted to form.
A year later, the Confederate cruiser
Tallahassee made a dash out Of vii
mington, y. c., cruised as far north
as Halifax and after absence OF al
most twenty days until its return to
Wilmington burned or scuttled thirty
one American vessels. The work of
destruction was accomplished in ten
days of actual time. the remaining ten
days being spent in cruising.
