150 Years Ago-- August 31, 1864: Another Runner Out of Business

AUGUST 31, 1864:  The blockade-running British steamer Mary Bowers ran aground between Rattlesnake Shoals and Long Island, South Carolina and was a total loss.  She was bound for Charleston where, it was reported, she was to load a cargo of cotton bound for Halifax.
