About the Book

Excerpt from Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Vol. 27: October, 1863

At'evenin g a summary was taken! Of injuries. We had been hit about forty times; one boat smashed, the flag riddled, the pennant-staff slfot away, our whistle also, several ragged tears in the deck-armor, and one by a mortar shell of rather an ugly character, a cross-beam of the turret broken, and a few' bolts driven out of the pilot-house. Not another iron-clad was struck. N 0 one on our side was either killed or wounded. When darkness came on the mortar schooners took up position and Opened fire. It was a beautiful sight; the mortar would roar and belch forth a crown of flame, and the shell could be seen rising high and higher till almost out of sight, then to fall and burst in the forti fications. All night they kept up the bombard ment, and even up to breakfast-time the next morning. With what effect, however, we could not ascertain, as we fought the battery no. More the day following on account of wind and tide, and ere night received orders to return to Port Royal immediately.

Among the incidents of our battle with Fort m'allister was one worth recording. A young man who had charge of the largest gun on the enemy's battery, seemed, after an hour' or so hard fighting, to conclude that a shot might be got into our port-holes, and he was observed to lean over his gun careless-of the incessant fire from the vessels and watch our turret. He seemed to be guided by the variation of light and shade only, for the whole ship was painted a sombre black. Just so soon then as our ports pre sented and our guns were being sighted, he would bend in the coolest manner, take deliberate aim and fire. The consequences of this coolness were afterward shown by five or six shot in a direct line of the ports, one only three inches below the opening.
