Hurrah ! And ` Cutlets ' and ` Hubbub ' and all the rest May stick to the calling they 're fitted for best , But _ we 'll _ all feel gay when The ` Yankee ' goes sailing home . '' In spite of the peace news we got orders to go out with the `` Dixie '' and blockade the Crooked Island Passage . So about four o'clock we hauled up the anchor and went to sea . All were gay , and many shook their hands in farewell to Guantanamo Bay . We were instructed to keep a sharp lookout for the steamer `` Monserrat , '' which had gained fame as a blockade runner . It was rumored that she carried Captain-General Blanco ; that she was well armed , and had a captain noted for his unscrupulousness and for his fighting qualities .
