On Saturday 31 We Received the News of Our Glorious Victory-- Part 3: Drove the Union Blockaders Away

"The Chicora did her part & thinks she sunk one certain besides other damage.  They set several on fire & others surrendered but like Yankees ran off afterwards-- so that when day dawned not a ship of boat of any kind was in sight.  They went out crossing the Bar about 4 am.  The first gun was fired a little before 5.

A British man of war that lay off the harbor told one of out officers that one had 'done more damage than we knew' but-- as they always are--  has reserved in saying more.
