interfering with
the free use of the same by friendly powers.

To this admirable state of efficiency was the new and terrible science of
war perfected, chiefly by the Confederate Navy, and mainly through the
instrumentality of its faithful, and devoted officer Captain Matthew F.
Maury, and his brave and daring young assistants, Minor, Davidson,
Kennon, Dixon, Glassel, and many others, and those crews of the
"Hundley," who moved by the lofty faith that with them died, volunteered
for enterprise of extremest peril in the defense of Charleston Harbour,
in which they all perished, in this desperate service, of whom the names
of but the following are known: Horace L. Hundley, George E. Dixon,
Robert Brookland, Jos. Patterson, Thomas W. Park, Chas. McHugh, Henry
Beard, John Marshall, C. L. Sprague, C. F. Carlson, Arnold Beeker, Jos.
A. Wicks, C. Simpkins, F. Collins, Ridgway, Miller, whose monument
erected by the ladies of Charleston, stands upon the battery there in
perpetual memory and honour.
