After repairs were completed, "Undine" resumed patrol and reconnaissance duty along the Tennessee River. On 30 October, she convoyed the transport "Anna" from Johnsonville, Tennessee, to Sandy Island. While returning to Johnsonville, Acting Master Bryant heard artillery reports coming from the river below Sandy Island and ordered "Undine" turned about to investigate. Near Paris Landing, "Undine" was again ambushed. Transports "Venus" and "Cheeseman" soon joined her and engaged the Confederates. Three hours later, both transports were disabled, and "Undine" was out of ammunition and crippled by a broken engine. Bryant hauled down his flag and surrendered "Undine", "Venus", and "Cheeseman". He was later exonerated by a board of inquiry.
