on the expedition, which was abominably
lifted out-a regular death trap, as ono Of
the pilots had pronounced it. Fifteen en-
listed men who had volunteered for the occa-

for volunteers for any service consid, ed par
ticularly perilous-two officers, and the crew
OF the tug brought the number up to thirty
four. The night was beautiful, very warm,
and singularly still We floated with the
current, not willing to arouse the attention
of the enemy, five could help it, by pufrs of
steam. But our precautions were futile. He
had seen us. We had barely got opposite the
batteries, on tho further side OF the bend,
when we saw flash, followed by re-
port, and a thud near the water line of
the nearer barge assured us that the sunners
had indeed got the range The next instant
every battery that could ha trained upon us
was belching forth flame and iron. We wero
continuously under fire for four miles, first
rounding the bend and then slowly moving
directly under the guns. The cannonading
surpassed the cannonading I have already
described. The Confederates appeared to be
furious at their previous failure to destroy the
previous vessels or prevent any of them from
getting by, and redoubled their efforts on
this occasion. They wero most prodigal of
powder, shot and shell. The moon was
dimmed with the ccaselcss flashing of the
great guns; the smoke lay along the river
and partially obscured the town. Our
barges, with the tiny laboring tug, appeared
insignificant compared with the stunning
din from the shore. Tho shot roared, the
shell screamed and burst all around us
Why we were not blown into the air l could
not comprehend. But the tug kept up its
petty putfs, audible only at intervals, and
steadily crept on. The handful of men were
distributed about, watching the hostile fire
and chatting of our chances of getting
through. We could only wait for the result,
which it seemed every second must be de-
cided against us. We appeared to be in the
hands of destiny, end destiny was not, mani
festly, on our side 1t occurred to me that
Wortlless would have enjoyed the scene,
which was a magnificent and terrible repre-
sentation of war-war of multitude against

Just then q shell from an upper gun
dropped, by strange mischance, upon the
tug, went into the boiler, exploded, threw the
furnace fires upon the loose hay covering the
tops of the barges, which in minute or
two were wrapped il flames. Our expedi-
ton had been destroyed, and its destruction
was greeted with wild, fierce yell from the
shore The tug sank and her crew went down
with her. The fire darted up everywhere;
we We're enveloped in it. Those of US unhurt

Mr.. Wheelock is an earnest and sensi-

his management has become a power

good support.
