That the Saratoga per formed good service while upon this uninteresting station may be readily inferred from the "Journal of an African Cruiser, " written by her purser, and published in 1848. * After a cruise of about two years, Commander Tattnall returned with his ship to New York. His health having been much impaired, he was granted a leave of absence. While enjoying this relaxation amid the pleasures of home and in the companionship of friends, war was declared between the United States and... the Republic of Mexico. He thereupon immediately volunteered his services to the Government for active duty in the presence of the enemy.
Several small steamers, suited to the navigation of the waters of the Mexican coast, but of a tonnage below the grade of a Commander s proper command, had just been added to the Gulf Squadron. Tattnall, familiar as he was with the character of the coast, well knew that if he ex pected to get at the enemy he must have a vessel of light draught. He therefore urged his assignment to the steam gun-boat Spit/ire.
