Edward H. Faucon and USS Montgomery Capture the Dare

From American Civil War High Command:  January 7, 1864

SOUTH CAROLINA:  

The USS Montgomery, Lt. Edward H. Faucon,  and the USS Aries, Lt. Edward F. Devins, chased the blockade runner Dare.  The steamer was beached at North Inlet (near Georgetown, S.C.) and  abandoned by her crew.

Boat crews from the USS Montgomery and USS Aries boarded  but failed to salvage the prize and it was burned.
