THE PIRATE sEMMEs' OWN REPORT OF

THE PIRATE sEMMEs' OWN REPORT OF
THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ALABAMA.
The Navy Department has received q dis.
patch from New York giving the following
report made by the pirate Captain Semmes,
concerning the loss of his vessel. His
allegation that the Kearsage fired on the
Alabama after her flag was down, and did
not send boats to save the crew Of the latter
is refuted by the other accounts published:
The pirate Semmes, in official reports, saws
that in an hour and ten minutes the Alabama
was found to be in sinking condition, the en-
emy's shells having exploded on her sides aad
between decks. For 8 few moments he had
ship filled rapidly and the furnace fires were
extinguished.
Captain Semmes says: 81 now hauled down
colors to prevent the further destruction Of
life, and dispatched a boat to inform the enemy
OF our condition. Although we were now but
tour hundred yards from each other, the enemy
fired at me five times after my cslors had been
struck. 1t is charitable to suppose that a ship
Of war OF q Christian nation could not have
done this intentionally. Some twenty minutes
after my furnace fires had been eXtinguished
and the ship being on the point of sinking,
every man, in obedience to q previous order
which had been given to the crew, Jumped
overheard and endeavored to save himself
"There was no appearance OF any boats COM
ing from the enemy after the ship went down.
1t was fortunate for myself thus escaped to
the shelter OF the neutral flag on board Mr..
Lancaster's yacht, Deerhound, together with
about forty men,"
