Colonel Rhett, or Colonel Smith, to give him his real name, had a falling out with his brother, Benjamin, went to South Carolina and adopted his mothers maiden name of Rhett. The Rhetts are still one of the illustrious South Carolina families. At the height of Stede Bonnett's glory as a pirate, Colonei Rhett was sent from Charleston to cap ture him. When the Rhett ship arrived in the Southport harbor Bonnett's ship was lying at the mouth of Fiddlers Drain, now officially known as Bonnett's Creek. The ship was taking on water when Rhett arrived. Sail was gotten up immediately on the pirate vessel with plans to get into position to fight. In the hurried get-away from Bonnett's Creek the pirate vessel ran aground on the eastern end of Battery Island. It was low tide and the vessel stuck there. Getting into position to force the surrender of Bonnett or to batter his ship to pieces, the ves sel of Colonel Rhett also ran aground. The two ships hammer ed away at each other with their cannon for some hours. Then the Rhett ship floated first and he j was able to work around to I where all of his guns could be I brought to bear on Bonnett's ves sel. Bonnett surrendered and was taken to Charleston, tried and hanged at the docks in that city. The pay-off to this story is i that the ship of Colonel Rhett i is said to have been aground in j a direct line between the ground-1 ed Bonnett vessel and the Rappl-J yea home, where the minnie ball was found this week ? sonable to suppo* tha" ? r, fired from the Bonn?, * at the Rhett ship v? hurtled over into the toJ I one mile away.
