In Florida, a U.S. Navy small boats expedition cuts out a Confederate blockade-runner

-
Manned by forty sailors, boats from the U.S.S. Port Royal, commanded by Acting Master Edgar Van Slyck, rowed forty-five miles up the Apalachicola River seeking the Confederate blockade-runner Fashion. She was finally discovered and captured in Brushy Creek and sailed down river. No casualties were reported on either side. (By John Osborne)
