OCTOBER 4TH, 1861: The USS South Carolina, Commander Alden, captured Confederate schooners Ezilda and Joseph H. Toone off the South West Pass of the Mississippi River with four to five thousand stand of arms.
More big prize money for the USS South Carolina. By this point in the war this ship had certainly captured a lot of blockade runners, perhaps the most of any Union ship. I wonder which Union ship captured the most runners or the one that got the most prize money.
