The hydra of secessionAll was saved but our honor -- Beauty and booty -- Come and take the city -- These people can do nothing without gunboats -- The importance of a vigorous blockade -- Bearding the lion in his den -- We have no vessel of sufficient speed -- Every little bayou -- Misfortunes seldom come singly -- Give me wooden ships and iron hearts -- The black devil and the pup -- Where the devil is the wind to come from -- Heigh-ho! The Sabine Pass? -- The blockade must be kept up -- Notwithstanding all our watchfulness -- Anything is preferable than lying on our oars -- Go ahead sir -- You had better surrender -- Blockade running...is at an end.
