The kssrssgs aud IN. Ai.s.m..

The fall report OF Captain wipslow
dscloses the fact that his original intention
was to ruu down the Alabama and 6ght her
at close quarters, but Semmes kept out OF the
way. The following quotation shows how the
cowardly pirate was compelled to fight:
lie had now arrived within nine hundred
yards OF her, aud | was apprehensive that an
other broadside, nearly rsking as il was, would
prove disastrous. Accordingly I order ed the
Kearsage sheered and opened on the Alabama
The positions Of the vessels was now broad.
side to broadside, but IL was soon apparent
that Capt. Semmes did not seek close action.
became then fearful lest, after some fighting,
that he would again make for the shore. To
defeat this determined to keep full speed on
and with port helm to run under the stern OF
the Alabama and rake, il he did not prevent il
by sheering and keeping his broadsde to Us.
He adopted this mode as preventative, aud,
as q consequence, the Alabama was forced,
with full head Of steam, into circular track
during the engagement.
The effect Of this mar puver was such that,
at the last of the action, when the Alabama
would have made off, she was near FIVE miles
from the shore and bad the action continued
from the first 10 parallel lines with her head in
shore, the line OF jurisdiction would no doubt
have been reached.
