uary il, 18(i5, while trying to get in with an assorted cargo of the type usuallydenominated hardware, was .she at last entrapped. The Federal screw-.steanicr Proteus, CommanderR. W. Shufeldt, picked up her scent and gave chase, with the result seen in the picture. It was for takingsuch risks as these that the captains of the blockade-runners received $5,000 a month instead of the $150which was the prevailing rate in the merchant service before the war. Officers and crews were paid inlike proportion. Coal was worth $20 a ton instead of $4, as formerly. The whole expense of the trip wasfrom three to four times what it would have been in time of peace, and yet a single cargo of cotton wasworth from a quarter of a million to a million dollars, and the freight rates in and out ranged from $300to $1,000 a ton. It was too alluring a business to be deterred by difficulty and danger. As Disraeliremarked, the exploits of the blockade-runners increase our respect for the energy of human nature.
