This fine likeness represents him at Southampton, England, wliither he was taken by the Deer-hound when the unlucky Alahaiiiii sank to her watery grave.

The captain gave him great credit for the fine con-dition in which the sliip went into action and further stated that he rendered him great assistance by his eoohiess and judgment asthe fight proceeded.

On his return to the Confederate States, he was appointed commander and given the ironclad Richmond, in the James RiverSquadron. The fine features and resolute bearing of these naval officers go far to explain the daring and effective handling of thefamous Alabama. With such sailors, an extensive Confederate Navy would have added even more dramatic chapters to history.
