ty rounds. The most extraordinary shot
wa from a l0-inch riled projectile, which
struck the top OF The turret, ~scooping ont
a huge portion Of iron, breaking all Of the
eleven plates Of an inch thickness each,
and spending its force on the pilot house
on the top Of the tugret, in which IL made
a crater three inches deep, and raising the
pilot.house three inches.
Another shot hit the %turret, forcing the
plate and striking inward. The carriage
OF the ll'inch gun was disabled by the
shock, while a portion of the interior iron
casing fell, lodging in the groove Of the
turret and stopping its revolution.
The Nantucket had her turret so Jared
that the cover Of the port could not be
opened, and consequently her l5-inch gun
could not be used.
The other monitors received more or
less shots, but was not disabled.
