350 Nortu Carorina Troops, 1861-’65.

Captain James Iredell Waddell was a perfect specimen of
physical manhood, standing 6 feet 1 inch, and weighing 210

pounds.

Norge.—In Vol. 3. Off. Rec. Union & Confed. Navies at p. 785 is the log
of the Shenandoah from which it appears (p. 792) that in her eight
months cruise she captured 38 vessels valued at $1,172,223. From p
793 to 836 is an admirable account of the cruise of the vessel by her
commander, at the conclusion of which Captain Waddell says :

“The Shenandoah was actually cruising but eight months after the
enemy’s.property, during which time she made thirty-eight captures,
an average of a fraction over four per month.

She released six on bond and destroyed thirty-two.

She visited every ocean except the Antartic Ocean.

She was the only vessel which carried the flag around the world, and
she carried it six months after the over-throw of the South.

She was surrendered to the British nation 6 November, 1865.

The last gun in defence of the South was fired from her deck 22 June,
in the Arctic Ocean.

She ran a distance of 58,000 statue miles and met with noserious injury
during a cruise of thirteen months.

Her anchors were on her bows for eight months.

She never lost.a chase, and was second only to the celebrated Alabama.

I claim for her officers and men a triumph over their enemies and over
every obstacle, and for myself I claim having done my duty.’’
