Vance and others, helped chase their sister vessels to their death. Over three hundred piled their bones along the shore — in fact, every harbor-mouth of the South was dotted with them. On the 31st of January, 1863, there took place a brilliant and famous attempt on the part of the Confederate naval forces in Charleston to break the blockade, when the ironclads Palmetto State and Chicora actually put out from their harbor and steamed some distance out to sea, these rams having engaged several strong Federal gunboats, capturing one and putting the others to flight.
