his  station,  until  peace  and  happiness  were  restored  to 
his  beloved  country.  Possessed  of  a  sanguine  tempera- 
ment and  vigorous  constitution,  his  office  was  to  him 
no  sinecure,  but  in  the  midst  of  trials  and  dangers  dur- 
ing those  times  which  "tried  men's  souls",  he  was  found 
cheering  the  desponding  and  administering  his  skill  to 
the  sick  and  wounded,  particularly  so  when  the  towns 
of  Fairfield  and  Norwalk  were  burnt.  He  was  at  the  side

ACCOUNT  OF  A  NOTED  DUEL  AS  TOLD 
BY  V^^LLIAINI  T.  AUSTIN,  Sr. 

Battle  Island,  Brazoia  Co. 

Stephen  F.  Austin,  first  cousin  of  John  Austin  and 
William  T.  Austin,  was  impresario  of  the  five  Austin 
Colonies.  There  existed  in  Texas  at  that  time  a  faction, 
opposing  Stephen  F.  Austin  in  most  of  his  measures, 
known  as  the  Wharton  faction.  After  the  battle  of 
Velasco  and  other  troubles  with  JMexico,  Stephen  F. 
Austin  Avent  to  JMexico  in  the  interest  of  the  Colonies 
and  after  arriving  in  Mexico,  he  was  treacherously  be- 
trayed and  throw  into  a  dungeon,  where  he  was  detained 
for  eighteen  months.  During  his  absence  the  Wharton 
faction  broke  out  in  the  most  bitter  denunciations  against 
him  and  his  measures.  John  Austin,  being  next  in  com- 
mand and  kin  of  Stephen  F.  Austin,  felt  that  it  devolved 
upon  him  to  champion  Stephen  F.  Austin  and  his  cause. 
The  excitement  raged  violently  throughout  the  colony, 
parties  were  formed  upon  the  subject  and  scarcely  a 
colonist  could  be  found  who  did  not  take  part  in  the 
controversy  by  joining  one  side  or  the  other.  John 
Avistin  challenged  the  head  of  the  Wharton  faction,  Wil- 
liam H.  Wharton,  to  a  duel,  considered  in  those  days 
the  honorable  means  of  settling  a  difficulty.  Before  the 
day  appointed  for  the  duel  John  Austin  died.)  Shortly 
after  a  banquet  was  given  by  the  Whartons,  where  John 
Austin's  death  was  discussed  as  removing  the  barrier  to 
the  Wharton  supremacy  and  Col.  John  A.  Wharton  of- 
fered a  toast  to  John  Austin's  bones  burning  on  the 
gridiron  in  Hell.  William  Tennent  Austin  was  so  in- 
censed at  the  insult  offered  his  brother's  memory  that 
when  he  was  told  of  it  he  went  to  find  Col.  John 
Wharton  and  an  altercation  ensued  and  a  challenge  for 
a  duel  followed  from  Col.  John  Wharton.,  The  Whartons 
being  practiced  duelists  were  confident  of  a  successful 
termination  in  their  favor.  William  T.  Austin  did  not  wish 
to  shoot  to  kill,  but  only  wanted  to  disable  John  Wharton, 


—  17  — 

which  he  did  by  shatteriii*?  his  right  wrist.  William  Austin 
deeply  deplored  the  iieeessity  of  the  duel  and  it  is  evident 
that  John  Wharton  did  also,  as  an  offieial  pa|)er  from 
John  Wharton  ap])()inting  William  Tennent  iViistin  to 
an  office  of  honor  is  still  in  possession  of  the  Austin 
family. 

John  Austin  joined  Gen.  Long's  expedition  and 
entered  iNlexieo  in  1821.  lie  was  taken  prisoner,  hut 
was  released  and  returned  to  U.  S.  A.,  through  the  in- 
fluence of/Poineett  jof  South  Carolina,  Minister  to  Mex- 
ico, who  was  a  college  chum  of  John  Austin.  John 
Austin  was  a  co-partner  with  Stephen  F.  Austin  and 
S.  M.  Williams  in  coloni/ing  Texas.  While  navigating 
the  coast  between  Texas  and  New  Orleans  he  was  twice 
taken  (prisoTier  by  pirates  .and  the  second  time  he  made 
his  escape  bj'^  swinnning. 

He  was  Alcalde  of  Erazonia  and  second  Alcalde  of

the  town  of  Brazonia  on  the  Brazos  River.  He  engaged 
in  the  mercantile  business  until  after  the  great  overflow 
of  the  Brazos  in  1833.  His  goods  were  ruined  and 
damaged  by  the  water  and  such  of  the  stock  as  was  at

War  for  Independence.

BATTLE  OF  GALVESTON  AS  TOLD  BY 
HENRY  GRIFFIN  HARDEN. 

"The  battle  of  Galveston  was  planned  by  General 
Tom  Green  and  Brig.  General  William  T.  Austin. 

"We  made  our  start  from  Huston,  Texas.  General 
Green  commanded  the  gun  boats,  which  consisted  of 
three  transports.  General  Austin  commanded  the  land 
forces.  I  was  in  Col.  Hardeman's  division.  Our  land 
forces  boarded  a  train  of  flat  cars  in  Houston  and  pulled 
out  for  Virginia  Point.  Our  engineer  got  up  all  the 
steam  he  could  and  our  train  fairly  flew  over  the  rails. 

"The  facts  regarding  Wm.  T.  Austin's  war  career  have 
not  been  put  in  history  owing  to  his  not  being  a  man  who 
boasted  or  bragged.  Wm.  T.  Austin  was  the  most 
agreeable  commander  I  ever  served  under ;  he  was  a  gen- 
eral favorite  with  all  the  boys.  I  served  under  William 
T.  Austin  from  April,  1836,  to  July  25,  1836.  After- 
wards served  under  him  at  the  battle  of  Galveston, 
1863." 

William  Tennent  Austin  helped  Pres.  Burnett  to  es- 
cape the  Mexican  Army.  He  Avas  appointed  by  Gov. 
Houston  Brig.  General  of  Confederate  States  to  organ-

down  the  Ohio  River  and  the  Mississippi  River  and 
on  into  Texas,  where  he  joined  his  uncle,  Gen.  Wil-

He  remained  in  Texas  until  1801,  when,  with  a  com- 
pany of  artillery  ot  which  he  was  a  niembcr,  he  left 
for  Brownsville,  Texas,  on  the  S.  S.  General  Rusk. 
^^''hile  on  this  trip  and  during  a  speech  he  was  making 
one  day  he  said,  "John  Hrown's  body  lies  moulding

Presented  by  Miss  S.  T.  Austin,  2034   E.  88th  St.,  Cleveland,  Ohio,  U.   S.  A. 
From   "The   Houston   Chronicle",   Tuesday,   October    14th,    1902. 

Daring  Exploits  of  Chas.  W.  Austin,  Family  of  One  of  South's  Greatest  Naval 
Heroes  Resides  in  Houston.  Manassas  First  Ironclad  His  Design. 

Contrary  to  all  the  teachings  of  history,  to  a  Texan  belongs  the  honor  of 
having  constructed  and  commanded  the  vessel  that  revolutionized  naval  war- 
fare and  displaced  wood  hulls  for  those  of  steel. 

Throughout  the  world  it  is  stated  that  the  Merrimac  and  the  Monitor 
were  the  first  successful  exponents  of  ironclad  architecture.  This  idea  is 
taught  in  the  public  schools  from  one  end  of  this  land  to  another  and  the 
teachers  have  impressed  and  continue  to  impress  it  upon  their  pupils. 

But  it  is  not  true  history.  Designed  conjointly  by  Capt.  John  A.  Stevenson 
and  Capt.  Chas.  W.  Austin  and  constructed  and  commanded  by  the  latter 
the  confederate  ram  Manassas  was  the  first  ironclad  ever  built.  Capt.  Austin 
was  a  Texan,  a  relative  of  Stephen  P.  Austin,  and  his  family  resides  today 
at  Houston  at  2712  Fannin  St.  But  for  the  success  of  this  vessel  the  Merrimac 
would  never  have  been  built,  and  Ericsson  would  never  have  submitted  his 
plans  for  the  "cheese  box  on  a  raft". 

The  first  ironclad,  The  Enoch  Train,  a  tow-boat  on  the  Mississippi  was 
purchased  by  Mr.  Stevenson  before  the  Federals  had  been  driven  from  the 
field  of  Bull  Run.  It  was  a  powerful  vessel  with  twin  screws  and  mammoth 
engines  for  a  craft  of  its  size,  ISO  ft.  in  length,  it  was  registered  at  about 
100  tons.  Hauled  upon  the  ways  at  New  Orleans  builders  swarmed  over  iis 
hull  while  all  the  city  laughed  at  the  plans  laid  down  by  the  two  captains. 
It  was  sheathed  above  the  water  lines  under  the  direction  of  Commander 
Austin  with  two  thicknesses  of  railroad  rails  and  was  fitted  with  a  ram  of 
iron  pointing  out  beneath  about  five  ft.  in  length. 

Before  the  vessel  had  been  completed  the  blockade  of  the  Mississippi 
had  been  established.  A  commodore  stationed  at  New  Orleans  refused  to 
man  the  vessel  and  shared  the  accepted  belief  that  she  was  useless.  Permis- 
sion to  call  for  volunteers  was  given,  however.     With  a  crew  of  19  men  she 


—  35  — 

steamed  down  the  river  to  its  nioiitli.     There  lay  4  sloops  of  war  hcariti};  a 
total  armament  of  56  guns. 

Of  all  the  20  souls  aboard  Capt.  Austin  alone  stood  upon  the  tlcek. 
Bearing  down  at  full  speed  upon  the  blockailing  fleet  he  aimed  for  the 
steam  sloop  of  war  F^ichniond  22  guns.  In  the  teeth  of  a  hail  of  fire  thundering 
from  half  a  hundred  cannon  the  intrepid  commander,  standing  alone  and  in 
open  sight  from  every  vessel,  commanded  the  engineer  to  pile  more  coal 
under  the  boilers.  Broadside  after  broadside  came  crashing  about  him  like 
the  fury  of  hell.  Plowing  through  the  water  with  all  the  speed  of  which  the 
vessel  was  capable  it  was  seen  too  late  that  a  coal  schooner  lay  between 
the  ram  and  its  victim.  Without  swerving  the  Manassas  steamed  on.  Solid 
shot  crashed  and  broke  upon  the  iron  sides,  but  still  Capt.  Austm  stood  un- 
hurt. With  an  awful  shock  the  ironclad  cut  through  and  through  the  sailing 
vessel  and  plunged  her  spur  far  into  the  wooden  sides  of  the  Richmond  just 
as  every  cannon  aboard  belched  forth  its  load  of  canister  and  shell. 

The  Manassas  backed  away  unhurt  with  its  gallant  captain  still  standing 
on  the  deck.  His  clothes  were  torn  into  shreds,  but  burned  and  blackened 
as  he  was  not  a  wound  appeared  upon  his  body.  The  Richmond,  however, 
was  a  wreck,  while  the  coal  schooner  was  already  at  the  bottom  of  the  sea. 
In  hot  haste  the  remainder  of  the  Federal  fleet  were  steaming  away  from  the 
monster  that  had  attacked  them.  The  Confederate  vessel  was  left  alone  and 
the  blockade  was  temporarily  broken.  But  in  getting  away  from  its  victimv 
the  port  engine  of  the  ram  had  been  broken.  Pursuit  was  impossible.  Slowly 
the  Manassas  steamed  back  to  New  Orleans  only  to  be  later  vitally  injured. 
She  was  run  upon  a  sand  bank  to  save  the  crew  and  was  there  abandoned 
by  force  of  circumstances  never  to  sail  the  sea  again. 

But  the  advantage  of  an  ironclad  vessel  of  war  had  been  demonstrated. 
The  Manassas  had  been  unarmed.  At  the  same  tune  the  power  of  a  craft 
of  her  stamp  manned  by  a  sufficient  crew  and  mounted  with  guns  of  large 
bore  was  recognized.  Upon  similar  lines  the  Merrimac  was  built  on  the 
Atlantic  coast  and  the  Monitor  was  evolved  from  the  brain  of  a  Scandinavian. 
Capt.  Austin  and  Capt.  Stevenson  had  gained  their  victory  in  more  ways 
than  one.  They  had  taught  the  scoffing  world  a  lesson  and  in  doing  so  de- 
veloped a  hero  for  the  Southern  States  whose  record  is  unusurpassed. 

And  yet  his  name  is  almost  unknown  while  those  of  lesser  lights  have 
been  brought  into  a  publicity  that  will  live  forever.  There  was  much  to  be 
desired  in  the  chronicled  histories  of  the  southern  navy  and  its  official  records. 
No  man  who  ever  fought  upon  the  seas  showed  more  intrepid  valor  than 
did  Capt.  Austin  in  his  service  beneath  the  stars  and  bars.  In  the  North 
his  name  in  unknown,  while  in  the  South  few  recognize  the  fact  that  a  hero 
came  out  of  Te.xas  who  set  a  standard  for  the  world  in  fortitude  and  daring. 
With  his  death  in  1889  the  major  part  of  his  life's  history  was  lost.  Like 
all  true  men  he  seldom  talked  of  his  achievements. 

A  distinguished  family:  Roger  Sherman,  one  of  the  New  England  ancestors 
of  Capt.  Austin,  signed  the  Declaration  of  Independence.  Another  of  his  rela- 
tives, Stephen  F.  Austin,  is  known  as  the  Father  of  Texas.   While  his  parents 


—  36  — 

resided  in  Ohio,  Capt.  Austin  lived  in  the  Lone  Star  State  and  commanded  a 
vessel  of  the  Harrus-Morgan  line  plying  between  New  Orleans  and  Galveston. 
With  the  outbreak  of  the  war  his  sympathies  were  with  the  South.  He  built 
and  fought  with  the  Manassas.  Four  of  his  brothers  were  in  the  Union  Army 
while  another  was  in  the  Confederate  army. 

He  was  the  only  one  who  took  to  the  sea.  For  four  years  his  life  was 
filled  with  daring  exploit  after  exploit.  Three  times  he  was  in  prison,  twice 
escaping.  Now  but  few  of  his  adventures  are  to  be  remembered,  but  those 
same  few  are  enough  to  brand  him  as  one  of  the  greatest  naval  heroes  of 
the  age.  After  the  Manassas  has  been  abandoned  he  took  to  blockade  running 
and  from  that  time  one  feat  of  daring  crowded  rapidly  upon  another. 

Capture  of  the  Fox:  From  New  Orleans  he  went  to  Mobile,  where  the 
blockade  was  close.  A  great  fleet  was  anchored  off  the  town  which  practi- 
cally forbade  all  entrance  to  the  harbour.  The  days  dragged  by  until  finally 
Capt.  Austin,  driven  by  waiting  to  an  uncontrollable  desire  for  something  to 
turn  up,  sailed  out  of  the  harbour  in  the  murky  darkness  of  a  cloudy  night 
on  a  tour  of  investigation.  There  in  the  offing  he  discovered  a  steamer  loaded 
with  arms,  ammunition  and  supplies  for  the  waiting  fleet.  Back  in  the  city 
he  proposed  his  plan  to  the  commanding  officer.  It  was  too  daring  for  official 
recognition,  but  permission  was  given  to  enlist  volunteers  for  the  desperate 
mission. 

On  the  first  favorable  night  in  a  small  steam  launch,  Capt.  Austin  and 
six  brave  men  went  glinding  out  of  the  harbour.  Unobserved  they  steamed 
to  the  steps  leading  down  from  the  steamer's  side.  Confident  of  security, 
but  one  man  had  been  left  on  the  deck  and  he  hailed  the  launch  as  it  tied 
up  to  the  vessel's  side. 

"This  is  launch  Number  7,"  came  the  response  from  Capt.  Austin.  "Where's 
the  Capt,  of  this  ship?"  "He's  asleep  in  the  cabin,"  answered  the  watchman. 
"Lead  me  to  him,"  commanded  Capt.  Austin.  Without  a  thought  of  danger 
the  sailor  turned  and  led  the  way  along  the  deck,  the  leader  of  the  expedition 
following.  As  he  climbed  up  the  side  of  the  vessel  the  remainder  of  the 
crew  came  close  behind.  Each  had  been  instructed  as  to  his  duty  and  without 
a  word  they  went  to  their  different  posts.  Without  knocking,  the  watch  led 
the  visitor  into  the  Captain's  cabin.  When  he  awakened  he  was  looking 
down  the  barrel  of  a  revolver. 

The  hatches  had  been  closed  on  the  crew  and  the  6'  men  were  in  control. 
Quickly  slipping  anchor  chains  the  vessel  was  headed  towards  the  harbor. 
She  was  laying  to  the  westward  of  the  channel  and  must  necessarily  cross 
its  mouth.  Scarcely  had  she  started  when  she  was  hailed.  "Transport  Fox, 
bound  for  Key  West,"  came  the  response  from  the  deck  of  the  vessel  as  she 
glided  past. 

Again  she  was  hailed,  but  the  same  reply  took  her  safely  on  toward  the 
goal.  Once  in  the  channel  she  was  quickly  put  about  and  the  next  morning 
found  her  tied  up  at  the  Mobile  wharves.  Thousands  of  muskets  and  a  hull 
full  of  ammunition  were  turned  over  to  the  confederacy  with  the  ship.   Capt. 


—  37  — 

Austin  became  the  lion  of  the  hour,  and  was  presented  with  an  eiu<^ant  gold 
watch  by  the  citizens  of  the  town. 

This  surpasses  fiction:  It  was  after  the  capture  of  New  Orleans  that 
Capt.  Austin  fell  into  the  clutches  of  the  enemy  and  was  lodged  there  in  prison, 
But  jail  walls  could  never  hold  him.  Within  a  few  days  he  was  assisted  to 
his  liberty  and  secreted  in  the  house  of  a  sympathizer.  For  ten  days  he 
remained  in  hiding  before  a  means  of  escape  from  the  city  was  devised. 
Finally  one  dark  night  a  friend  from  the  outside  came  to  the  house  and 
led  Capt.  Austin  with  his  companion  to  the  water  front.  Swimming  out  into 
the  muddy  water  the  two  men  climbed  over  the  side  of  a  coal  schooner  and 
hid  themselves  in  the  hold.  The  vessel  was  going  out  light  bound  for  Havana, 
a  haven  of  safety  for  the  prisoners. 

At  the  appointed  time  a  shuffling  of  feet  on  deck  told  the  men  below  that 
the  ship  was  under  way.  Until  far  out  at  sea  they  remained  in  the  hold, 
stifled  with  the  odor  of  bilge  and  the  dust  of  coal.  Their  friend  from  the 
outside  had  shipped  as  mate.  When  darkness  came  he  opened  the  hatch 
and  the  men  released. 

Stealthily  creeping  to  the  cabin  occupied  by  the  master  they  opened  the 
door  and  walked  in.  The  captain  was  a  German  and  all  of  his  teutonic  wrath 
blazed  up  at  the  sight  of  the  dust  begrimmedstdwaways.  He  demanded  their 
story.  Very  frankly  they  told  him  that  they  were"  estnping  prisoners  of  war 
and  wanted  to  go  to  Havana.  With  a  great  Prussian  oath  the  masted  rushed 
toward  the  door  with  the  intention  of  giving  the  order  to  bout  ship.  Coolly 
producing  a  revolver  Capt.  Austin  pointed  the..f8tiz.z,le  in  the  Captain's  face. 

"Stay  where  you  are,"  came  the  hoarse  c-o+nmand.  Obedience  seemed  neces- 
sary. The  stowaways  agreed  to  pay  their  passage  if  allowed  the  freedom  of 
the  vessel  as  passengers  to  Cuba.  In  the  face  of  the  demand  the  request  was 
as  complied  with  and  the  ship  sailed  on  its  course. 

But  it  was  not  for  long.  Morning  dawned  and  with  the  dawn  the  stars 
and  stripes  appeared  in  the  distance.  The  captain  rushed  to  the  rail  and 
made  an  attempt  to  signal  the  vessel.  Suddenly  he  felt  himself  held  in  a 
grasp  of  steel.  He  was  forced  hastily  back  into  his  cabin,  the  door  was 
locked  on  him  and  Capt.  Austin  took  command.  A  week  later  the  shooner 
was  tied  up  at  the  Havana  wharves  and  Capt.  Austin  was  still  in  charge. 
Turned  over  to  the  Cuban  authorities  his  further  immunity  from  captivity 
was  avoided  by  virtue  of  a  previous  meeting  with  the  captain  general  of 
the  island.    How  this  was  brought  about  is  another  story. 

A  terrible  journey:  The  details  of  the  capture  of  the  blockade  runner 
commanded  by  Capt.  Austin  in  1862  is  forgotten  history,  but  the  fact  remains 
that  he  in  company  with  his  second  in  command  was  confined  in  a  dungeon 
in  Fort  Taylor  at  Key  West.  From  their  cell  a  window  looked  out  over  the 
waves  of  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  that  beat  fully  50  ft.  below.  For  weeks  they 
languished  in  captivity  until  finally  help  arrived.  One  day  a  rope  was  hastily 
thrust  through  the  grating,  followed  by  a  jug  containing  a  surplus  supply  of 
water  and  a  package  of  bread. 

Below  the  window  of  the  prison  a  ship  floated   at  anchor  and   at  her 


—  38  — 

stern  was  tied  a  small  boat  used  as  a  tender.  The  location  of  the  ship 
was  marked.  That  night  was  dark.  Securing  the  rope  within  the  cell,  Capt. 
Austin,  with  the  water  jug  tied  around  his  neck,  climbed  from  the  high  aperture 
and  swung  out.  Hand  over  hand  he  went  down  to  freedom.  Owing  to  the 
necessary  haste  his  companion  was  just  above  him  bearing  the  bread.  When 
fully  20  ft.  above  the  water  Capt.  Austin  found  himself  at  the  end  of  the  rope. 
It  was  too  late  to  go  back  up.  Letting  go  he  went  crashing  feet  downward 
into  the  waves  below.  His  companion  was  fairly  on  top  of  him  when  he 
went  under.  Fortunately  the  noise  was  not  noted,  but  the  water  in  the  un- 
corked jug  was  lost,  as  was  also  the  bread.  With  bridges  figuratively  burned 
behind  them  and  untold  suffering  ahead,  they  struck  out  according  to  previous 
agreement  for  the  ship.  Securing  the  yawl,  Capt.  Austin  climbed  aboard  the 
vessel.  The  watch  was  napping.  Working  fast  and  quietly  he  unscrewed  the 
compass  from  its  place  and  dropped  back  with  it  into  the  small  boat.  It 
would  have  been  suicidal  to  have  attempted  to  secure  provisions  to  replace 
those  lost,  and  so  the  two  sailed  away  destitute,  shaping  their  course  for 
Havana.  Day  dawned,  but  still  the  two  men  rowed  on,  assisted  by  a  makeshift 
sail.  The  heat  of  a  summer  sun  blazing  over  a  tropic  sea  was  intense.  They 
were  out  of  sight  of  land  with  water  everywhere  and  not  a  drop  to  drink. 
Hunger  gnawed  at  their  vitals,  but  safety  was  in  front,  not  behind.  With  the 
coming  of  night  their  suffering  had  increased  to  a  point  that  seemed  mad- 
dening. 

Another  and  another  day  passed;  still  there  was  nothing  but  the  burning 
sun  and  the  salt  sea.  Havana  was  ahead  of  them.  Loaves  of  bread  and 
bunches  of  fruit  appeared  piled  up  in  luxurious  plenty  on  the  seat  beside 
them  only  to  vanish  under  touch.  Clear,  cool  springs  drippled  from  the  bottom 
of  the  boat,  but  the  water  was  not  for  their  parched  and  swollen  throats. 
Land  appeared  just  behind  only  to  fade  away  as  with  renewed  efforts  they 
rowed  toward  it.  With  sailor  instinct  they  kept  to  their  course.  Another 
night  found  the  two  men  raving  stark  mad,  lying  in  the  bottom  of  the  yawl 
too  weak  and  emaciated  to  even  cry  for  help.  Before  another  day  came 
that  would  have  assuredly  brought  death,  the  men  were  picked  up  by  fisher- 
men just  off  the  Cuban  coast  a  few  miles  below  Havana.  Water  and  food 
were  forced  down  their  throats  a  little  at  a  time.  At  first  it  seemed  as  though 
relief  was  as  likely  to  prove  fatal  as  suffering  had  been  before,  but  slowly 
under  the  ministering  hand  of  the  fishermen  they  improved.  Almost  worn 
out  by  their  awful  experience  they  were  taken  to  Havana  and  turned  over  to 
the  authorities.  They  were  taken  before  the  captain  general  and  told  their 
story.  Struck  by  their  tale  and  by  their  appearance,  he  released  them  on 
parole.    The  freedom  of  the  city  was  theirs. 

But  the  publicity  given  the  event  reached  the  army  authorities  in  the 
North  and  an  officer  was  despatched  to  bring  them  back.  When  he  arrived 
Austin  and  his  companion  were  summoned  to  appear  before  the  governor 
of  the  Island.  A  young  lieutenant  in  his  blue  uniform  was  there  awaiting 
them  in  the  private  office  of  the  captain  general  who  sat  at  his  desk  writing. 
At  last  he  turned  toward  the  group.     In  his  hand  he  held  a  document  which 


—  39  — 

he  handed  to  Austin.  It  was  n  certificate  of  citizenship  in  Cuba.  Snapping 
ther  fingers  at  the  officer  who  had  come  to  get  them,  they  left  the  palace 
free  men. 

During  the  remainder  of  their  stay  in  the  Cuban  capital  Capt.  Austin 
and  his  companion  struck  up  a  close  friendship  with  the  Governor  who  iiad 
given  them  their  liberty.    This  fact  proved  their  salvation  later. 

The  Blockader's  last  run:  But  it  was  in  Galveston  Harbor  that  Hie  last 
and  most  brilliant  event  in  a  civil  war  career  occurred  under  the  eyes  of 
the  entire  city.  Old  men  tell  of  it  yet,  although  with  years  tile  memory  of  the 
deed  is  dimmed.  In  broad  daylight  Capt.  Austin  ran  the  blockade  of  the  port 
with  his  ship  the  Susanna  and  brought  provisions  and  war  supplies  to  a 
distressed  land. 

It  was  in  the  last  year  of  the  struggle  the  result  of  which  was  already 
foregone.  Almost  all  of  the  blockaded  ports  along  the  Atlantic  and  the  gulf 
had  been  captured  and  the  entire  southern  squadron  was  blocking  the  harbor. 
The  story  of  the  event  as  told  by  the  U.  S.  ship  Seminole,  which  led  the 
chase,  has  already  been  published  in  the  New  York  World  under  the  title, 
"A  Dash  Through  a  Fleet."  The  authority  for  the  tale  already  told  was  un- 
actjuainted  with  the  identify  of  the  captain  of  the  vessel  he  had  chased,  but 
with  due  consideration  gives  him  credit  for  being  the  coolest  man  that  ever 
walked  a  quarterdeck. 

The  Susanna  was  built  on  the  Clyde  and  was  a  long,  low  steamer  built 
for  speed  and  concealment.  Time  after  time  she  had  run  into  Galveston 
Harbor  through  the  fleet  collected  outside,  but  always  before  at  night.  Her 
arrival  was  regular  and  always  on  time.  When  expected  she  always  turned 
up  and  tied  at  the  wharf  in  the  morning.  Her  last  run  was  momentous.  Leav- 
ing Havana  with  a  cargo  of  gunpowder  and  provisions,  calculations  had  been 
made  as  formerly  to  arrive  off  the  harbor  under  cover  of  darkness,  but  a 
break  in  the  machinery  caused  delay.  Steaming  along  Capt.  Austin  found 
himself  one  morning  but  a  few  miles  off  Galveston  and  in  sight  of  the  blockad- 
ing fleet. 

As  yet  he  was  unseen  owing  to  the  low  construction  of  his  ship  and  he 
decided  to  run  out  to  sea;  but  enquiry  below  elicited  the  information  that 
the  supply  of  coal  would  not  be  sufficient  for  12  hours  more.  The  only 
filternative  was  to  make  for  a  place  of  concealment  under  the  shore  and 
thither  the  prow  was  turned. 

But  the  overhanging  smoke  had  attracted  the  attention  of  the  fleet,  and 
a  ship  of  war  was  fast  bearing  down  upon  the  daring  blockade  runners. 
Without  a  moment's  hesitancy  Capt.  Austin  determined  to  run  the  gauntlet. 
The  course  was  again  changed  and  the  Susanna  again  headed  for  the  bar. 
A  dozen  ships  barred  her  way. 

With  great  clouds  of  smoke  pouring  from  her  funnels,  and  all  attempt 
at  concealtment  thrown  to  the  winds,  the  swift  Susanna  rushed  on  seemingly 
to  sure  destruction.  Soon  she  came  within  range  and  every  vessel  opened 
up  on  her  from  a  long  distance.    The  Seminole  was  in  the  lead  and  sent  a 


40 


solid  shot  across  the  bow  of  the  long  dark  ship  that  fairly  skimmed  the 
water.     Foam  splashed  up  over  the  deck,  but  the  warning  had  no  effect. 

Cutting  in  the  warship  decreased  the  distance  between  it  and  the  Susanna 
until  objects  could  be  plainly  seen  from  one  deck  to  another.  Shot  after  shot 
went  screaming  through  the  air  toward  the  blockade  runner,  but  still  she 
kept  her  course.  The  regular  channel  was  blocked,  but  she  went  straight 
ahead,  raked  fore  and  aft.  The  Susanna  quivering  like  a  frightened  animal, 
rushed  on;  all  Galveston  was  on  the  wharves  watching  the  engagement,  hoping 
and  praying  for  the  safety  of  the  vessel.  Suddenly  the  course  of  the  Susanna 
was  changed.  Doubling  around  the  Seminole,  she  made  straight  for  shallow 
water  and  the  bar.  On  board  the  sloop  of  war  they  believed  her  captain 
decided  to  beach  her  and  the  course  was  taken  up  in  the  hope  of  capturing 
the  crew  and  preventing  the  absolute  destruction  of  the  vessel. 

But  it  was  part  of  the  trick.  Another  turn  that  sent  the  water  swirling 
under  the  prow  and  the  course  was  again  changed.  Crossing  at  a  dangerous 
and  generally  unknown  place  on  the  short  bar  the  Susanna  entered  the  deeper 
channel  of  the  bay.  Her  prow  had  been  shot  away  and  both  smokestacks 
were  wrecked,  but  riddled  with  shot  and  shell  as  she  was  she  steamed  slowly 
to  the  wharves  and  discharged  her  cargo. 

During  the  entire  engagement  Captain  Austin,  according  to  the  Commander 
of  the  Seminole,  coolly  paced  the  bridge  with  his  hands  in  his  pockets  and 
a  cigar  between  his  teeth.  Not  once  did  he  leave  his  place  or  show  a  sign 
of  trepidation  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  half  a  ton  of  black  powder  was  stored 
directly  beneath  him.  In  the  shower  of  shot  and  shell  he  stood  as  he  had 
on  the  deck  of  the  Manassas  facing  almost  certain  death  while  his  ship  v.'as 
being  shot  away  beneath  him.  Cool  courage,  perfect  seamanship  and  an 
absolute  knowledge  of  the  harbour  assisted  him  in  performing  another  exploit 
that  had  never  been  equalled  and  that  only  emphasizes  the  fact  that  some 
of  the  credit  given  to  others  belongs  to  him. 

On  the  next  voyage  the  ship  commanded  by  Capt.  Austin  was  cornered 
and  captured  at  sea  by  a  federal  sloop  of  war  and  he  was  taken  to  Philadelphia 
in  his  own  vessel,  there  to  be  thrown  into  prison.  A  short  time  afterwards  the 
struggle  was  ended.  Returning  to  Galveston  the  hero  went  back  to  the 
Merchant  Marine  and  again  took  charge  of  a  A'lorgan  liner.  It  was  at  this 
time  that  he  met  and  married  Miss  Georgia  Grafton,  who  resided  in  the 
Texas  seaport.  During  the  struggle  Capt.  Austin  was  unknown  to  the  girl 
he  later  took  for  a  wife,  but  his  vessel,  the  Susanna,  had  brought  her  many 
good  things  from  foreign  lands  and  his  reputation  as  the  handsomest  and 
most  daring  man  in  Texas  was  common  property. 

Some  time  later  the  couple  removed  to  Savannah,  where  Capt.  Austin 
took  charge  of  the  construction  of  the  jetties  at  the  mouth  of  the  river.  There 
the  family  of  two  sons  and  one  daughter  grew  up  from  childhood  to  maturity. 

In  1889  this  naval  hero  of  the  South  died  as  a  result  of  exposure  during 
the  war  and  today  his  body  rests  upon  the  shores  of  the  Atlantic  while  the 
ever-bearing  waves  pay  tribute  to  his  greatness.  —  "Nor  should  his  glory 
be  forgot  while  fame  her  record  keeps."

The  Roman  Chin-ch,  to  its  everlasting-  shame,  reiused  to  permit 
him  to  see  his  wife  and  ehihh-en.  His  death,  as  a  martyr  to 
free  religion,  on  Fehruary  4,  1554>,  was  a  stain  on  Queen  Mary 
and  the  Roman  Catholic  Chuicli  that  never  can  l)e  effaced.

Adriana  Pratt,  was  I)orii  in  1.543  at  \N'iltenl)crg,  Saxony.  lie

19.  Thomas  Rogers  was  the  eldest  son  of  Thomas  Matthew  Rogers. 
He  was  horn  in  July,  lo8(!,  and  died  in  Feh.,  1()21.  He  married 
about  1606,  Grace.  His  children  were  Joseph,  1).  KiOT; 
Thomas,  1609;  John,  h.  1 6 H,;  William,  h.  1618;  and  James, 
b.  1615.  He  came  to  America,  with  hi5f*oldest  son,  Joseph,  in 
the  good  ship,  "Mayflower".  He  left  the  others  hehind  l)e- 
cause  they  were  too  young  to  make  tjje,.trip.  They  all  came 
over  later  at  different  times,  and,  «s-6crC^!  Bradford  said,  "mar- 
ried and  had  many  children."      --—»"'=-"'' 

20.  James  Rogers,  youngest  son  of  Thomas  Rogers  and  Grace,  was 
born  in  England  in  1615;  and  died  in  New  London,  Conn.,  on 
February  16,  1687.    He  married  in  Stratford,  Conn.,  Elizabeth, 

daughter  of  Samuel  Rowland,  a  landed  proprietor  of  that  place. 
She  died  at  New  London,  Conn.,  in  1709. 

James  Rogers  came  to  America  in  1635  in  the  good  ship 
"Increase".  In  1637  he  was  one  of  the  six  men  from  Say- 
brook,  Avho,  under  Capt.  John  Underbill,  took  part  in  the 
Pequot  War. 

He  then  moved  to  Stratford,  Conn.,  where  he  acquired  pro- 
perty, and  from  there  he  went  to  INIilford,  Conn.,  where  he  ac- 
quired considerable  property  and  became  a  baker  on  a  very 
large  scale.  He  supplied  all  New  England,  New  York,  Virginia 
and  Barbadoes  with  biscuit.  Milford  became  too  small  for  the 
operations  of  this  great  business  man.  His  friend,  Gov.  Win- 
thrope,  induced  him  to  settle  in  New  London,  where  he  took  a 
place  next  to  the  Governor's.  He  soon  became  by  far  the  largest 
land  holder  and  richest  man  in  the  colony,  and,  in  addition  to 


—  92  — 

his  large  baking  business,  he  took  charge  of  the  town  mill. 
He  also  carried  on  by  far  the  most  extensive  domestic  and 
foreign  trade  of  any  man  in  New  London  County.  He  and  his 
sons  were  more  esteemed  and  liked  by  the  Indians  than  any 
other  men  in  the  colonies. 

Uncas,  Chief  of  the  Mohigans,  blood  brother  of  Samuel 
Rogers,  one  of  the  sons  of  James  Rogers,  promised  Samuel  that 
he  would  protect  him  with  all  his  warriors  in  case  of  emergency. 
Samuel  decided  to  test  the  faith  of  his  friend,  Uncas.  "When 
prepared  for  the  experiment,  he  fired  a  signal  of  alarm,  which 
had  been  concerted  with  his  tawny  friend,  in  case  either  should 
be  disturbed  b}-  an  enemy ;  and  in  half  an  hour's  time  grim  bands 
of  warriors  were  seen  on  the  hills  and  soon  came  rushing  down 
with  the  sachem  at  their  head  to  the  rescue  of  their  friend. 
Rogers  had  prepared  a  feast  for  their  entertainment,  but  it  was 
probable  that  they  relished  the  trick  nearly  as  much  as  the 
banquet." 

James  Rogers  was  deputy  to  the  Court  of  Elections  for  May, 
1661,  May,  1662,  and  October,  1662.  He  was  representative 
to  the  General  Court  seven  times  between  1662  and  1673.  He 
was  Corn  Commissioner  for  New  London  in  1662,  and  was 
on  the  committee  of  fortifications  for  New  London. 

Rev.  John  Rogers,  son  of  James,  founded  the  Rogerene 
Church  in  America,  and  suffered  great  religious  persecution. 

21.  Capt.  James  Rogers  was  the  sixth  child  of  James  Rogers  and 
Elizabeth  Rowland.  He  Avas  born  in  Milford,  Conn.,  on  Feb- 
ruary 15,  1652,  and  was  baptized  by  the  Rev.  John  Ci'andall 
of  Westerley,  R.  I.,  and  he  died  at  New  London,  Conn.,  on 
November  8,  1713.  He  married  on  November  5,  1674,  Mary, 
daughter  of  Jeffrey  Jordan. 

Capt.  James  Rogers  was  a  member  of  the  earlj^  Rogerene 
Church.  He  owned  a  great  deal  of  land  and  also  a  tannery. 
His  household  articles  were  verj^  numerous  and  very  costly. 
He  owned  and  was  captain  of  a  large  ship  which  he  ran  between 
foreign  ports  and  America.  "His  ability  to  navigate  and  com- 
mand a  foreign  bound  vessel  at  such  an  age  (21  years  old)  is 
sufficient  guarantee  of  the  skill  and  enterprise  of  this  youth." 
Mary  Jordan  Avas  a  passenger  from  Tester,  Ireland,  on  his  ship. 
He  married  her  upon  landing,  and  in  after  life  he  often  said

He  was  prominent  in  the  eonmiunily  and  bad  politieal  ambi- 
tions. In  1708  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar.  In  1714  he  was 
made  Captain  of  the  fourth  train  (militia)  band  of  New  Lon- 
don, Conn.  In  171.5  he  was  attorney  for  New  London.  He 
was  deputy  to  the  General  Court  sixteen  times  and  at  one  time 
he  was  speaker  to  same.  He  moved  to  Norwalk,  Conn.,  about 
1726,  and  became  verj'-  prominent  in  that  eommmiily. 

23.  Dr.  Uriah  Rogers,  jM.D.,  sixth  ehild  of  Capt.  James  Rogers 
and  Elizabeth  Harris,  was  born  in  Baintree,  ]\Iass.,  on  October 
10.  1710;  and  died  in  Norwich,  Conn.,  on  j\Iay  6,  1778.  He 
married,  in  1734.  Ilaimah,  daughter  of  Col.  James  Loekwood 
and  Lydia  Smith. 

Dr.  Uriah  Rogers  studied  medicine  in  Hartford  under  the 
celebrated  Dr.  Jonathan  Bull,  and  was  licensed  by  the  General 
Court  in  1733.  About  173.5  he  moved  to  Norwalk,  Conn.,  and 
located  on  "]Mill  Hill."  "Dr.  Uriah  Rogers  was  one  of  Nor- 
walk's  early  but  excellently  equipped  physicians  and  most 
eminent  citizens."  He  was  hospital  sin-geon  in  the  British  army 
in  the  so-called  French  War  in  17.58.  "At  the  burning  of  Nor- 
walk in  1779  by  the  British,  a  period  subsequent  to  his  death, 
his  late  mansion  Avas  destroyed  with  its  effects,  including  his 
books  and  papers.  The  only  articles  preserved  were  his  silver-
