Timely provision was made to meet her by sending the monitors Weehawken, Captain John Rodgers commanding, and Nahant, Commander John Downes, to Wassaw Sound, from whence she was expected to come out. The admiral had the satisfaction of reporting to the Department on June 17th the capture of the Atlanta on that day. At early dawn she was discovered coming down Wilmington River, accompanied by aents into the casemate. The crew was composed of 21 officers and a complement of 121 enlisted men, 16 of whom were wounded.

A cigar-shaped steamer 160 feet long, supposed to be of sufficient capacity to carry from two hundred and fifty to three hundred bales of cotton, was also found. Three torpedo boats fitted for service were found sunk in Cooper River. Two were raised, and one of them put in working order. Their length was 64 feet, diameter 5 1/2 feet, and they had a speed of five knots. Six others wer
