Loss OF The Monitor

This Iron clad, turret vessel, that
fought the Merrimack, sprang leak
in a gale, and sunk. II is feared that
a considerable number Of officers and
men went down with her. No ex-
PLANTATION rs TO how the leak occurred
is given. Probably by The rolling Of
the vessel, and the strainng Of the
