Sunday morning, June 12, 1864, the United States sloop of war Kearsarge, Captain John Ancrum Wins- low, lay off the sleepy town of Flushing, Holland. Many of her officers and men were ashore, and every thing about the ship denoted an entire absence of thought of immediate action. As the day wore on, however, a cornet suddenly appeared at her foremast and a gun was fired, a signal for every member of the ship s company to repair on board immediately. Wins- low had just received a telegram from M...r. Dayton, our minister to France, saying that the Alabama had ar rived in Cherbourg. On leaving the Cape of Good Hope Semmes had sailed for Europe, arriving at Cher bourg June llth. Hastily making his preparations for an immediate departure, Winslow steamed to Dover for dispatches, and on Tuesday appeared off Cherbourg, where the Confederate flag could be seen across the breakwater, flying from the Alabama. Fearing that the twenty-four-hour rule might be applied to his ship, Winslow did not anchor in the harbor, but took a sta tion off the port.
