The Times correspondent with Porters
expedition, writes from on board the San
tiago de Cuba, at Beaufort, N. O., dating
December 10Th:
A severe gale was encountered of Cape
Hstteras, in which the little monitor Ma
hapoc had a narrow escape. She was be-
ing towed by the Santiago, and sprung 8
leak. The water not only rushed in at the
top Of the turret, but worked lis way
through the hull.
The iron-clads would take in coal at
Beaufort, and prepare for action.
