[1] On 28 June, celebrated by Charleston as the anniversary of driving off Admiral Sir Peter Parker in the Revolution, Jeff Davis received a gala send-off as she escaped to sea through Maffitt's Channel, "notwithstanding," as the Mercury quipped, "the very efficient blockade of Abraham I."

Seeking to make Florida, Enchantress was recaptured by USS Albatross and her prize-master, William W. Smith, a Savannah pilot, was nearly hanged as a pirate, along with his prize-crew, by a New York court-perhaps the most celebrated case of its type during this war.

Church bells rang and the town gave the shipwrecked privateersmen an ovation as heroes with a celebration lasting for days; on returning to Charleston, two weeks later, Captain Coxetter was honored with heavy gold watch and fob by admirers.

The number of her prizes and the amount of merchandise which she captured have no parallel since the days of the Saucy Jack," a Charlestonian privateer schooner in the War of 1812.

[1] Coxetter attempted to organize a new privateering expedition without success, but putting to sea in steamer Herald he only added steadily to his fame by blockade running the remainder of the war.
