Mrs. Clestial Col well presided. A report of IS books read was given. Mrs. Mary Blackburn presented the program entitled "Submarine Hunley." She recounted that the 25-foot craft, owned by private parties, was built for the profitable business of sinking enemy vessels as prizes. She sailed under orders of Gen. B.G.T. Beauregard, comman der of Charleston's defenses. One night the sub lay at her Charleston berth, the crew below wedged so .tightly that no one could pass. Lt. Payne stood forward rtady to pull down the hatch when the wake of a passing steamer washed over the deck, swamping the Hunley and sending her to the bottom. Payne wriggled out the open * hatch but was the only survivor. In another trial she lost a second crew of volunteers, with Lt. Payne and two others crawling from the hatch to safety. Beauregard's faith was revived by the arrival of Horace Hunley, himself, who begged to be allowed to try again. One diving test was successful, but on Oct. 15, 1863, Hunley went down to his death with a fresh crew. The Hunley lay with her bow deep in mud at 35 degrees. Hunley had his hand over his head as if trying to raise the hatch against heavy pressure. An unlighted candle was in his left hand. A messenger to Beauregard reported that still another crew had been lost in the experimental coffin. g Though her location is known, she " has evaded modern di\ i rs and still rests on the bottom of Charleston harbor ? by 50 years the first successful submarine, and until World War II, the only American sub to sink an enemy vessel.
