MAY 15, 1865: Secretary Welles wrote Rear Admiral Thatcher of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron that "it appears that blockade running at Galveston is still being carried on with much success."
between 15 April and 1 May, six runners, including the elusive Denbigh, were reported to have put into Havana with cargoes of cotton, all from Galveston.
In other words, you'd best stop this business.
