</p>
<ul><li>Acting Master Thomas L. Wragg (of the Atlanta);</li>
<li>Lieutenant Moses, CSA;</li>
<li>Acting Gunner Thomas B. Travers (Atlanta);</li>
<li>1st Assistant Engineer William T. Morrill (Atlanta);</li>

<li>Master's Mate J.B. Beville;</li>
<li>Pilot Thomas L. Hernandez (Atlanta);</li>
<li>Acting Midshipman James A. Peters (Atlanta);</li>
<li>Captain Underwood, CSA;</li>
