Tb. ga fight Of the Kearsarge and Ala

Dana.
u. fight between the R.Grsarge and the

guns. pne forward and the other aft. She
We much s,vitter than the Keirsarge, and
ervf3re had a great advantage over Der in
manGuvrins.
Both vessels made seven complete circles
in manCeuvring, at a distance Of from
q0arter T. half mit The Alabama then
FUNK.
The Boston Trareiisr remarks that this j.
not the irst fight between Americans and
British in tie English Channel. In 1914
the L. s. sloop-oi-war Wasp defeated the
British sloops-of-war Reindeer and Avon,
and what ii somewhat remarkable the Wasp
like the Kearsarge was commanded by ma
tive of North Carolina, Capt. BIakely.
The pirate Semmes publishes an account
of the recent engagement, and says he has 9
men killed and 20 wounded. He says that
in an hour and ten minutes the Alabama
was found to be in sinking condition, the
encmy's shells having exploded on her sides
and between decks.
For few minutes be had hopes of reach
ing the French coast, but the ship filed rapid
", and the furnace fires were extinguIshed.
Semmes says: - now hauled down my
colors to prevent the further destruction of
life, and dispatched boat to inform the en-
envy of our condition. Although we were
DOW but 400 yards from each other, the enc
my fred at me FIVE times after the colors had
been struck. II is charitable to suppose
that a ship of war of a Christian nation
could not have done this intentionally.
Some twenty minutes after my furnace
fires had been extinguished and the ship be-
ing on the point of sinking, every man, in
obedience to q previous order, which had
been given to the crew, jumped overheard
and cndeavored TO save himself.
There was no appearance of any boats
coming from the enemy after the chip went
down.
1t was fortunate for myself that l escaped
to the neutral flag on board Mr.. Lancaster's
yacht Deerhound, together with 40 others"
Three of the Alabama officers and six of
her crew, were landed at Cherbourg from 9
French pilot boat; also several from the
British ship Acton.
