AUGUST 25TH, 1864: The CSS Tallahassee, Commander Wood, successfully ran the blockade into Wilmington, N.C., after being chased and fired at by several blockading vessels. Rear Admiral Lee issued orders urging "utmost vigilance" to prevent her from going back out.
In her cruise, cut short by lack of coal, Wood took some 31 prizes, all but eight of which were destroyed.
Job Well Done. --Old B-R'er
