returned the compliment for an hour or
more, until one of their smoke-stacks was
nearly shot away, and one of our shells
exploded in the after part Of the Rich
mond, killing a gunner and wounding
three seamen, when having had vigor-
Gus pounding from our shells they, one
by one, fled away cut Of range to a place
of security, leaving an esrthwork which
the rebels have lately constructed on the
