N2  - Anonymous letter (1863 December 27; South Atlantic) written from the bark Ohio of New Bedford, Mass., Daniel Flanders, master.  The writer notes that whales were taken in the South Atlantic.  Having learned that a Confederate raider, the screw sloop Alabama, was in the vicinity, the Ohio sailed to the Indian Ocean where it also fished for whales and later returned to the South Atlantic
