On the Channel coast, the British test, successfully, a new fog-horn invented in New London, Connecticut

The Trinity House, the institution in charge of securing the British coast, tested a new and powerful fog-horn, the invention of C.L. Daboll of New London, Connecticut, during the day.  Mounted for the test near the Dungeness Lighthouse on a stretch of the Kentish coast on the English Channel notorious for both fogs and shipwrecks, the new invention worked well enough for Trinity House to install it permanently at that spot.

The newly purchased Confederate ship "Rappahannock" slips out of its English Channel port at midnight

The 860 ton, 200 foot ship had been built for the Royal Navy as H.M.S. Victor.  The British soon found her unreliable and ordered her sold. Confederate Captain Mathew Maury purchased her and, when he suspected the British had discovered its intended purpose as a raider, sailed at midnight from Sheerness. True to its reputation, the newly christened Rappahannock broke down immediately and was detained in Calais till the end of the war.  (By John Osborne)
