Thursday, January 16. 1941 THE BATTLE 0E HATTERAS Hatteras, and Other Details of The Campaign rRFAT'rfv.TwTo u' C °. Unt as I>ublißh “ d in Book: THE GREAT CIVIL MAR, by Robert loins and Benjamin G. Smith. 1861 . The Federal Government, with a well-organized navy at its command and the enormous com mercial marine of the North at its sendee, possessed a powerful means of carrying on the war, which the insurgent slave States, with their meagre naval resources, had great reason to dread; but, with its ships of war designedly scattered, as it was suspected, over the seas of the world, by an ad ministration under the control of, men conspiring to dissolve the Union, and suddenly confronted with an enemy whose hostility and power our statesmen persistently continued to underrate, was slow in deriving advantage from its su periority on the sea. Aroused at last to the necessity of exercising its full power in a war the for midible character of which could no long-er be concealed, the Gov ernment brought to bear the pow erful nieans of offense offered by its navy and the commercial ma rine. The men-of-war were re called from remote foreign sta tions and employed in the block ade of the extensive coast of the insurgent slave states; merchant craft, sailing vessels, and steamers of all kinds were chartered and purchased, and fleets of gun-boats rapidly constructed. It was thus that the Federal Government was enabled, in addi tion to giving efficiency to the blockade, to commence a series of expeditions to the southern coast. The first was that to Hatteras, off North Carolina, which will now be described. Aug. 26. Fortress Monroe hav ing been made the rendezvous for the various vessels, the expedition sailed thence on the 26th of Au gust. It was composed of two steam frigates', the Minnesota, Captain G. A. Van brunt—the flag ship of Commodore Stringham, who w’as the naval chief in com mand—and the Wabash, Captain Mercer; three gun-boats, the Pawnee, Captain Rowan; the Mon ticello, Commander Gillis; and the Harriet Lane, Captain Faunce; and two transports, the Adelaide and the George Peabody. To these were added several old hulks, to be filled with stones and sunk in the channels, and a number of surf and flat boats for landing the troops. The steam frigate Susquehannah subsequently joined the fleet. The troops, w r hich for the most part embarked on the transports, were composed of 500 men of the Twen tieth Regiment of New York Volunteers, Colonel Max Weber; 220 of the Ninth Regiment of New York Volunteers, Colonel Hawkins; 100 of the Union Coast Guard, Captain Nixon, and one company of the United States Artillery, Lieutenant Lamed, making in all about 900 soldiers. To General Butler had been intrusted the mil itary and to Commodore Stringham the naval command of the expedi tion. Os the former, the readers of this history have been duly in formed, of the latter a veteran naval commander, there is an hon orable record of service which it is proper now to exhibit. Silas H. Stringham was born at Newburg, in the State of New York, in the year 1796. His first naval service was as midshipman on board the frigate President, Com modore Rodgers, in 3809. In 1830 he commanded the Falmouth, on the West Indian station. From 1835 to 1837 he held a command in the Mediterranean; at its close he was ordered to the Porpoise and sent in search of a pirate then cruising on our coast. In 1842 he commanded the Independence,! at tached to the home squadron, and in 1847 he took command of the Ohio, dispatched on special ser vice to Brazil. He was subsequent ly placed in command at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where he re mained until the Mexican War, when he again took charge of the Ohio, and led the squadron in the successful bombardment of Vera Cruz and the capture of the castle San Juan d’Ulloa. In 1852 he sail ed in command of the Mediterran ean squadron, and on his return in 1855 was appointed commandant of the Navy Yard at Charlestown, in Massachusetts. At the com mencement of the war he was or dered to the chief command of the naval force blockading the coast of the hostile States. It was while on this service that he was called to conduct the first naval expedi tion. , Ti Confederates Fortified It Though studious efforts had been made to conceal the place of attack, the public at the North, and more especially the enemy at the South, had discovered it. The object of the expedition was to take possession of Hatteras and the other inlets on the coast of North Carolina, which the enemy had defended by various fortifica tions. These inlets are passages from the Atlantic Ocean to the sounds or lagoons shut in. from the seas by those long stretches of , sand beaches peculiar to the coast i of North Carolina. The command of these sounds, of which the prin cipal are Pamlico and Albemarle, was of eminent advantage to the enemy, as they afforded not only , means of ready exit and entrance through the inlets to privateers , and vessels desirous of eluding the Federal cruisers, but an interior communication by the Dismal Swamp Canal with the Chesa peake. To secure the possession iof these inlets, the principal ones had been protected by fortifica tions. Old Topsail inlet, leading to Beaufort (N. C.), was defended by a granite fort, strongly built and mounted with forty guns. This was originally constructed at the ex pense of the Federal Government, but was seized by the insurgents of Carolina. Ocracoke Inlet, far ther north, was also defended by a work built by the United States, termed Fort Morgan. Hatteras Inlet, some twenty miles still further north, near the cape whence it derives its name, had been but recently formed by the action of the sea on these ever shifting sand beaches. This new channel, connecting the ocean with Pamlico Sound, and allowing the passage of vessels drawing fifteen feet of water, was much used by the enemy in their restricted com merce, and they had made great efforts to secure it. They had here constructed two forts, called Hat teras and Clark. The chief object of the naval expedition was to destroy or gain possession of them, and thus wrest the command of Hatteras Inlet from the enemy. 1 Landing Three Miles From Inlet On the evening of the 27th of Au guest, the fleet, with the exception of the Susquehanna, arrived off Hatteras, and the object of the expedition was officially announc ed to those engaged in Tt. Contin uing to close in with the land, on the next morning all the vessels, with the exception of the Susque hannah, which did not arrive until later in the day, were in position to prepare for landing the troops. The place selected tor the disem barkation was about three miles from Hatteras Inlet. The two hulks which had been towed from Fortress Monroe for the purpose, were now filled with troops, and the iron surf-boats and others be gan to convey them to the shore. In the mean time, the guns of the men-of-war were so directed as to cover their landing. The breakers were high and beating powerfully, so that the iron boats conveying the first two companies of soldiers were nearly capsized and thrown violently upon the beach, with the : surf pouring in torrents over their stems. The men were forced to leap out of the boats and wade breast-deep to the land. A boat from the Pawnee had been more successful, and had succeeded on heT first trip in landing her load of men high and dry, but on the ; second she capsized, turning every man into the water, but no one, fortunately, was drowned. The iron surf-boats it was found im i practicable further to use, and every other boat which attempted ; to land was either upset or crushed by the breakers upon the shore. After, therefore, landing about 300 men, no other attempt was made on the first day to disembark the troops. Those landed consisted of two companies of the Twentieth New York Regiment, with Colonel Weber and Lieutenant Colonel Harris; a company of the Ninth New York, Captain Jardine; a company of regular artillery, Cap tain Larned; a detachment of ma rines from the men-of-war, com manded by Majors Doughty and Shuttleworth, some sailors from the Pawnee, under Lieutenants Crosby and Blue, and two sur geons, Drs. King and Jones. This small force was provided with only two rifled howitzers, one of which had been disabled by the loss of a wheel in the course of the difficult landing. . Much of the ammunition, moreover had been damaged by the water, and no supply of provisions had been yet brought off from the ships. The troops were, however, formed into line, and organized as Iwell as circumstances would allow, but owing to their isolation, their small numbers, and their pitiable condition from the drenching in sea water to which they had been ex posed, and their want of necessi | ties, were greatly embarrassed how to act. j Fort Clark Abandoned I In the mean tim*, the war ves sels had taken up their position m front of the forts, and the Wabash, taking the lead, had opened fire upori Fort Clark. The naval can nonade was very heavy, and though the enemy’s batteries re sponded at first with great spirit, ' they gradually relaxed their fire, and finally ceased altogether at ! about twi) o’clock in the afternoon. :At this time, the Monticello, hav ing a comparatively small draft of water, closed in with the shore and moved toward the entrance of the inlet, within fire of the other work of the enemy, Fort Hatteras. aground, and the Confederates opened a heavy fire upon her. The While in this position she got Monticello, however, responded with great spirit, and after firing fifty-five shells in fifty minutes, nearly silenced the fort. At the close, she fortunately succeeded in floating again, and moved out of range, but not until she had re ceived seven eight-inch shot in her hull, though without serious dam age to the ship or the loss of a single man. In -Me mean time, the troops on shore having discovered, by means of their scouts, that Fort Clark had beer, abandoned, proceeded to take possession of it and hoist upon the ramparts the United .States flag; but the ships of war not recogniz ing their own standard, again di rected a heavy fire upon the fort, so that our men were obliged to evacuate it. “In misi.ake,” says a suffering campaigner, “the fire was thus kept up on our forces until they were compelled to retreat and leave there the stores, in the quar termaster’s department, which they had found, and which they now so much needed, for they had become exhausted in their exer tions to land the forces, and had then marched to the fort in wet clothes and without anything to eat since five a. m., and it was now about five p. m., and it became necessary to fall back to the land ing. In doing so they captured some negroes who had been acting as cooks for the- forces there, and other prisoners in arms. From these it was found that their forces were greater than ours, and that they were expecting rein forcements. No alternative was left but to be resigned to whatever fate was in store, and all tried to be as cheerful as possible. Some sheep and geese were found and “acquired” (to use a secession phrase) bv our troops, and dis patched very unceremoniously. Camp fires were then built, and our prey was roasted (or bather burned) on the bayonets and cut lasses, and on this the troops made their supper and breakfast. The manner in which it was served did not make it particularly inviting, but yet it was evidently very much relished in the absence of every thing else. Night was now upon us, and bade fair to be stormy. Every now and again a little rain would fall and dampen our clothes, which had not become dry from the experience of the morning. Our pickets were posted around in different positions to prevent a surprise, and we bivouacked on the beach. It was an anxious night to all. While we were lying on the beach, discoursing the com fort that it would afford us to be taken prisoners and marched to Richmond, they were getting rein forcements into Fort Hatteras and were arranging to attack us, which would have resulted in our capture, for they outnumbered us, and they were on their own ground, and better organizzed than we were. Fortunately their pickets reported that we were moving forward in large numbers to attack them, and they waited until morning for our approach. We, however, were quite willing to remain in safety where we were, and when morning dawn ed we saw the vessels coming in again from sea, whither the high winds compelled them to retreat for the night, and we took up our march for Fort Clark, and at the same time the vessels advanced and opened such a hail-storm of shells as caused us to halt outside of Fort Clark, as it was necessary for our vessels to fire over the fort to reach Fort Hatteras. Dur ing the firing the troops took a position about half a mile from Fort Clark, and planted the rifled howitzzer so as to command some steamers which were lying off Fort Hatteras, in the bay, either to land more troops or remove those in the fort, if they could no longer hold it. Happily for us they were within the range of our tire beyond their position and re gun. and we compelled them to re main there, and thus we prevented any communication with the fort except by signals. While holding that position, the Fawnee by acci dent opened fire, and her shells fell so near the troops as to com pel them to retire from their posi tion and remain between the two fires until the white flag was hoist ed on Fort Hatteras, when the troops advanced toward the fort and all firing ceased.” I Confederates Surrender Aug. 29. The men-of-war had, in the early morning, begun the bombardment, whose effective ser vice was relieving the suffering campaigners on shore from thier anxiety. The Susquehannah had shell, which was immediately fol lowed by destructive broadsides from the Minnesota and the Wa bash, almost every shell falling and bursting within the work. About two hours subsequently the Harriet Lane and the Cumberland joined in, and greatly added to the severity of the fire. The enemy continued to resist pertinaciously until an eleven-inch shell, having made its way through a ventilator, exploded within the bomb-proof, in the middle of the battery, where the garrison had sought refuge from the shower of shot which our ships continued to pour upon them. This last shot settled the day, for it struck within their only co' r er and burst near the magazine. The enemy now gave up all hope and raised upon the ramparts the white THE TYRRELL TRIBUNE flag of truce. The fleet now ceased to fire, and General Butler, landing at the fort, demanded an unconditional surrender. To this Commodore Barron who had commanded in the forts, objected, and proposed that the officers be allowed to march out with their side-arms, and that the men be permitted, after laying down their arms, to return to their homes. Butler, refusing these de mands, insisted upon a surrender to which he was willing to grant only one condition, that the offi cers and inen should be treated as prisoners of war. Barron no long er hesitated to comply, and articles of capitulation were drawn up on hoard the Minnesota, and signed by Commodore Stringham and General Butler on the part of the Uniter States, and on that of the Confederates by Commodore Bar ron, Colonel Martin, and Major Andrews. General Butler’s Account The official reports contain the, most authentic and detailed nar-! ative of the affair. Here is that I of General Butler: “United States Flag-Ship Minnesota, August 30, 1861. “Major-General J. E. Wool, Com manding Department of Virginia: “General: Agreeably to yourj orders, I embarked on the trans- J port steamers Adelaide »r.d George 1 Peabody' 500 of the Twelfth Regi ment New York Volunteers, Colonel Weber commanding; 220 of the Ninth Regument New York Volunteers, Colonel Hawkins com manding; 100 of the Union Coast j Guard, Captain Nixon command-! ing; 60 off the Second United 1 States Artillery, Lieutenant Lar- i ned commanding, as a force to; operate in conjunction with the; fleet, under the command of Flag! Officer Stringham, against the l rebel forts at Hatteras Inlet. “We left Fortress Monroe on I Monday, at one o’clock p. m. The I last ship of our fleet arrived off j Hatteras Inlet about four o’clock; Tuesday afternoon. Such prepara-1 tions as were possible for the! landing were made in the evening,! and at daylight next morning dis positions were made for an attack upon the forts by the fleet and for the landing of the troops. Ow: ng to the previous prevalence of southwest gales, a heavy surf was breaking on the beach. Every effort was made to land the troops, and after about 815 were landed, including 55 marines from the fleet and the regulars, both the iron boats upon which we depended were swamped in the surf, and both flat boats stove, and a brave attempt made by lieutenant Cros by of the United States Army (serving with the army as port captain at Fortress Monroe), who had volunteered to come down with the steam-tug Fanny, belonging to the army, to land in a boat from the war-steamer Pawnee, resulted in the beaching of the boat, so that she could not be got off. It was impracticable to land more troops because of the rising wind and sea. Fortunately, a twelve pound rifled boat gun, loaned us by the flag-ship, and a twelve pound howitzer were landed, the last slightly damaged. Out land ing was completely covered by the shells of the Monticello rand the Harriet Lane. I was on board the Harriet Lane, directing tbe disem barkation of the troops, by means of signals, and was abosfi landing with them at the time the boats were stove. We were induced to desist from further attempts at landing troops by the rising of the wind, and because, in the mean time, the fleet had opened Are upon tbe nearest fort, which was finally silenced, and its flag Struck. No firing had opened upon our troops from the other fort, and its flag was also struck. Supposing this to be a signal of surrender, Colonel Weber advanced his troops, al ready landed, upon the beach. The Harriet Lane, Captain Faunce, by my direction, tried to cross tbe bar to get in the smooth water of the inlet, when fire was opened upon the Monticello (which had pro ceeded in advance of us) from the other fort. Several shots struck her, but without causing any cas ualties, as I am informed. So well convinced were the officers of both navy and army that tbe forts had surrendered at this time, that the Susquehannah had towed the frig ate Cumberland to an offing. The fire was then reopened—as there was no signal from either—upon both forts. In the mean time, a few men from the Coast Guard had advanced up the beach, with Mr. Wiegal (who was acting as volunteer aid, and whose gallantry and services I wish to commend), and took possession of the smaller fort, which was found to have been abandoned by the enemy, and raised the American flag thereon. It had become necessary, owing to the threatening appearance of the weather, that all ships should make ap offing, which was done with reluctance, from necessity, thus leaving the troops upon shore —a part in possession of the small fort (about seven hundred yards from the larger one), and the rest bivouacked upon the beach, near the place of landing, about two miles north of the forts. Early the next morning the Harriet Lane ran in shore for the purpose of covering any attack upon the troops. At the same time a large steamer was observed coming down the sound, inside the lanL with reinforcements for the enemy, but she was prevented from land ing by Captain Johnson of the Coast Guard who had placed the 1 two guns from the ship and a six f pounder captured from the enemy in a small sand battery, and opened fire upon the rebel steamer. Bombardment Begins : | “At eight o’clock the fleet open ed fire again, the flag-ship being anchored as near as the water al lowed, and the other ships coming gallantly into action. It was evi dent, after a few experiments, that our shots fell short. An increased length of fuse was telegraphed, and firing commenced with shells of fifteen second fuse. I had sent Mr. Fiske, acting aide-de-camp, on shore, for the purpose of gaining intelligence of the movements of the troops and of the enemy. I then went with the Fanny, for the purpose of effecting a landing of the remainder of the troops, when a white flag was run up from the fort. I then went with the Fanny over the bar into the inlet. At the same time the troops, under Col jonel Weber, marched up the beach,, j and signal was made from the flag ship to cease firing. As the Fanny rounded in over the bar, the rebel steamer Winslow went up the channel, having a large number of secession troops on board, which she had not landed. We threw a 1 'shot at her from the Fanny, but 1 { she proved to be out of range. I then sent Lieutenant Crosby on ! shore to demand the meaning of the white flag. The boat soon re-| turned, bringing Mr. Wiegel, with , the following written communica tion from Samuel Barron, late captain in the United States Navy: | “MEMORANDUM. |“Fort Hatteras, August 29, 1861. ,“Flag Officer Samuel Barron, Con ' federate States Navy, offers to 'Surrender Fort Hatteras, with all {the arms and munitions of war. ;The officers allowed to go out with |side-arms, and the men without {arms to retire. “S.
