Extraordinary Account of a Subma
rine Boat.
FATE OF LIEUT. DIXON OF THE 21st ALA
BAMA KEIiIMENT AND HIS COMMAND RED.
lii 1804, tho fleet of Admiral Far
ragut was blocadiug Mobile, while a
heavy land and Naval attack was di
rected against Charleston.
Daring our long defensive war a
great deal of ingenuity bad been ex
pended by the Confederates upon Tor
pedoes and Torpedo Boats.
The most remarkable of tbo boots
was constructed in Mobile, by Messrs
Hundley ,V MeCiinloek, and launched
in lb 04; and nothing which has gone
down in the sea was m ire wonderlully
and more fearfully contrived to wreak
destruction and vengeance upon friend
and foe.
She was built of boiler iron, and
impervious to water or air. Hir ex
ue.no leugtli was about thirty feet,
with live or six feet beam, and about
six feet deptli of hold. Iu general
contour she resembled a cigar, sharp
at both ends. She was propelled by a
screw, the shaft of which ran horizon
tally along her hold, aim st from stem
to stern, and was turned by the manu
al force of eight men, seated along it
on either side.
Tho only hatchway was circular,
about two feet in diameter, w h a low
coin lung around it, which was placed
well l’omard, and when desired could
be closed by an iron cap working ou
hinges and made airtight.
In the forward part of this cap was
inserted a clear glass bull s eye,
through which the pilot could see
She was provided with water-tight
compartments by filling or omptyiug,
which she would sink or rise, and to
enable her to rise instautly, her bal
lasting of railroad bars, was placed on
her bottom, outside of her hull and by
means of keyes, accessible to lier crew
could be detached iu a moment, so that
she would rise quickly to the surlaco.
Besides her rudder which was ol
the usual form, this vessel was equip
ped with side paddles- or tins, served
to guide it up or down wit h reference
to the surface of the water.
To prepare lor action, a floating tor
pedo was secured to her stern by a
line more than one hundred leet long
and her crew having embarked, the
j water tanks were filled until the boat
'was in eqitllibrion, and alino t sob
i merged. The hatchway was closed,
the men revolved the shaft, the oap
i tain, or pilot standing under the hatch
steered the boat, regulating at the
same time, by the action of her lateral
fins, the depth at which she would
move. , -
Her greatest speed did not exceed
four knots. She could remain sub
merged for half an hour, or an hour,
without any great inconvenience to
her crew —aud on one occasion has
been known to remain under water
two hours, without actual inj r to
them ; although no means were pro
vided for procuring fresh air, aud
from the moment the hatch was
closed tho men thus fastened in their
living tomb, inhaled aud exhaled con
tinuously the atmosphere which was
inclosed with them.
The plan of attack proposed by the
inventors, was to dive beneath* the
keel of an enemy's ship, hauling the
torpedo after her ; its triggers or sen
sitive primer would thus press ag unst
the ship’s bottom, explode the torpedo
and inevitably sink the ship.
I Not»ar.ticipating an early opportu
nity of using this dangerous vesse
against the fleet of Farragut, Genera
Maur-v sent her by rail to Beauregard
at Charleston. Believing the water,
of that harbor better suited to her pe
cui’ftr construction, vvhfle m the Iron
DAWSON, GA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER (i, 1870.
sides, or some other gigantic war ship
t'leu attacking Charleston, might he
found an objoct worth the great risk
to which her own crew was exposed
in any enterprise they might under
take in her.
General Beauregard changed the
arrangement of the torpedo, l>y fas
tening it to the bow. Its front was
terminated by a sharp and barbed
lance-head, so that when the boat was
driven end on, against a ship's sMos,
the hnco-head would bo forced deep
into the .timbers below tho water lino,
and would fasten tho torpedo firmly
against the ship. Thou tho torpedo
boat would back off and explode it by
a lanyard.
General Beauregard’s call upon tho
Confederate fleet for volunteers to man
this dangerous craft, was promptly an
swered by Lieutenant Payne, a Vir
ginian, and eight sailors. They were
soon ready for action ; and on the evo
niug rot for their expedition, the last
preparation had boeu made. The tor
pedo boat was lying alongside the
steamer from which the crew had em
barked ; she was submerged till the
combing of her hatch alone was visi
ble above the water. Her commander
Payne, was standing in the hatchway
in the act of ordering her to bo cast
off, when the swell of a passing
steamer rolled over her and sunk her
instantly, with her eight men in sev
eral fathoms of water. Lieutenant
Payne sprang out of the hatchway as
the boat sunk from under him, uud he
alone was left alive.
In tho course of a few days she
was raised and again made ready for
service, again Payne volunteered and
eight men with him.
The ombarkation for t’uoir second
attempt was made from Fort Sumter,
and as before, all having been made
ready, Payne standing at his post in
the hatchway, ordered the hawser to
be cast off, when the boat careened
and sunk instantly. Payne sprang
out, two of the men followed him, the
other six went down in the boat and
perished.
Again the boat waj raised and made
ready for action, and her owner, Cap
t tin Hundley, took her for an experi
mental trip into tlie iStono Liver,
where after going through her usual
evolutions, sue dived in doop water,
and tor hours and for days, the return
of poor Hundley and his crew was
watched for and looked for in vain.
After near a week’s search, she was
tuuud inclining at'an angle of forty
degrees; her nozzle was driven deep
into the solt mud of the bottom. Her
crew of nine dead men were standing,
sitting, lying about iu her hold asphix
iated, Hundley was standing dead at
his post, a candle in pne hand, while
the other hand had grown stiff with
death in his vain efforts to Unclamp
the hatch. Others had been working
at the keyes of the ballast, but tho in
clination at which tbo boat had gone
down, had jammed the keys so that
the men could not east off' tlie heavy
weight which hold them down. Their
deaths had been hard and lingering.
Again this fearful vessel was made
ready tor action, anil volunteers being
called tor, Lieutenant Dixon 21st Al
abama Volunteers, a native of Mobile,
* .1 eight men volunteered to take her
against the enemv.
The now and powerful war ship,
Housatonic was elected for attack;
and on a quiet night tho bravest crew
sat out from Charleston, in this terri
ble nameless torpedo boat, that ever
manned craft before.
We all know the fate of tho Housa
tonic. Brave Dixon guided tho tor- !
pedo fairly against her, the explosion
tore up the great war ship’s sides, so
that she went down with nearly all j
her crew within ten minutes.
The t rpedo vessel also disappeared
forever from mortal view. Whether j
she went down with her enemy, or
whether she drifted out to sea to bury j
her gallant dead, was never known, I
and their fate was left till the great
day when the sea shall give up its
dead.
But within a few weeks past, Di
vers iu submarine armor have visited
the wreck of the Housatonic, and they
have found a little torpedo vessel ly
ing by her huge victim, aud within
her are tha hones of the most devoted
aud daring men who ever went to war.
No forlorn hope nor other desperate
enterprise of war can furnish the par
allel to the courage of Dixon and his
i comrades, Their names we have not
at hand But they are known and re
corded, and we hope to see the honor
which is due paid to the great virtue
they illustrated. D. H. M.
