MAY 29TH, 1862: The USS Keystone State, Commander LeRoy, captured British blockade runner Elizabeth off Charleston.
** The USS Bienville, Commander Mullany, captured blockade runners Providence, with cargo of salt and cigars, Rebecca, with cargo of salt and La Criolla, with cargo of provisions, off Charleston.
That made a total of four blockade runners captured off Charleston in one day.
In the case of the Bienville, this made five blockade runners captured since May 24. Not a bad haul of prize money.
