AUGUST 21ST, 1862: The USS Bienville, Commander Mullany, captured British blockade runner Eliza, bound from Nassau to Shallotte Inlet, North Carolina.
I can't help but chuckle at the story some friends of my mom who lived in the town if Shallotte, NC, told her about the time they ordered some furniture from a place in Raleigh, NC, and the truck didn't show y\up. They waited and waited and finally found out that the truck had gone to Charlotte, NC.
Oh, Well. --Old B-Runner
