Running the
Blockade
By DONALD CHAMBERLIN
Port Royal, South Carolina, is a fine
harbor. In that region are many is­
lands lying between the mainland and
tile ocean on which Is produced what
is called seu island i-otton, an article o f
very superior grade. When the war be
tween the states opened and the south
ern ports were blockaded this was a
favorite point for running the blockade
with cargoes o f this valuable cotton.
Where It was grown It was worthless;
beyond the Yankee blockading squad­
ron It was often worth more than a
dollar a pound.
The United States government sent
a naval and military force to Tort Roy
al to occupy the harbor, and adjoining
the Islands, some fifteen or twenty
miles from the month o f the harbor. Is

“ Don’t you know that the Lincoln

“ You don’t say so!"

but there’s a big chance o f its being
captured by a Yankee gunboat lying
off the mouth o f the harbor I f so it
will be confiscated.”

“ But If you git It through. If it’s

fortune out o f I t “

“ I f yo’ . want to take the risk I ’ll

yo’ sell It for.”
“ Yo’ goln’ to carry over this what

“ I am.”
“ W hat yo’ paintin’ yo’ ship that colo’

"T h at’s the color o f a fog. I shall
not go to sea till I can git a misty
night That gray paint Is exactly the
shade o f a misty mo’nlng Just befo’
day.”
A bargain was struck between the
two, the captain agreeing to take the
lean man and his cotton to England
for 20 per cent o f Its value In Liver­
pool provided the blockade could he
run sRfely. The twenty bales were
taken to the whurf and rolled aboard.
The owner remained ashore till a fo g­
gy night should enable the ship to get
to sea. there being five chances o f
success to one o f capture.
Finally an east wind brought In
murky weather, and the captain told
his passenger that there was a pros
peet o f her getting out early the next
morning. The Intter went aboard with
his baggage, a hair trunk, a bandbox
and a leather case evidently contain­
ing a musical instrument
But the
captain, who was busy superintending
getting the ship off. bad no time to
Inspect the passenger’s baggage.
Steaming down on to the broader
waters the ship cast anchor between
two Confederate forts on either shore
to wait for an opportunity. There were
considerable wind and rain during the
nigh», hut nothing to conceal a ship
About 7 o’clock tn the morning the
wind lulled and a dense fog settled
do wn. The captain concluded to try to
slip out between the gunboats outside
the harbor. Just before the fog shut
everything from view he took his bear
ings from bis compass and. with speed
only sufficient for steerage way, aided
by cn outgoing tide, drifted to the har­
bor's mouth
On passing out a dim balk appeared
on his port quarter
He knew that It
was a blocknder. but he had the ad­
vantage o f his ship’s being the color o f
the mist, and he passed safely. H alf
nn hour passed, and he was congratu­
lating himself on having cleared the
blockading ships, when from below
there arose the resonant sound o f a bu­
gle.
Dashing down the companion-
way. he followed the sound, which led
him to his passenger's stateroom. The
man was practicing ou a cornet The
captain with a blow sent it scurrying
on the floor
"You idiot!" he exclaimed. “ What
do you mean?”
“ W hat do yo’ mean yo’self? 1 al

“ Fool! Do yon want to lose your
cotton?”
Through n porthole they heard "Ship
ahoy!” then “ Heave to!” and the
captain knew it was all over
They
were In possession o f a Yankee gun­
boat
The lean man was a Connecticut
Yankee, and his prize money for hls
services amounted to 2100.000. He had
obtained a commission from Washing­
ton to prevent blockade running and
had been furnished with means that
enabled him to carry out hla purpose
in bla own way.
