APRIL 10TH
An expedition led by Lt. Cmdr. Selfridge of the USS Conestoga cut across Beulah Bend, Mississippi, and destroyed Confederate guerrilla stations which had been harassing Union shipping on the Mississippi River. (And, he didn't sink his boat, though I am not sure if he destroyed them from the Conestoga or landed on shore.)
Boat crew from the USS New London reconnoitered the Sabine City, Texas, area and captured a small sloop.
Landing party from the USS Kingfisher captured Confederate pickets on Edisto Island, South Carolina.
