A Deed Of Heroisn Even Nobler rh..
That of Admiral Farragut.
It was at the battle OF Mobile Pa,
August 3, 1864, that Admiral Farracn.

h. had climbed in order to be above tbs
smoke and so be able to oversee "a

has heard of the Admiral's courage. I'm,
comparatively few will perhaps so much
as remember the name Of a man who in
this same battle performed deed Of
still noblcr heroism.
Doctor Hutchinson, in his account Of thu
battle, says that the Confederate ram
Tennessee started out from behind Fort
Morgan just before the head OF the Fed.
eral fleet was abreast of it, intending "a
attack the ships one by one. On reeeiy.
ing two or three broadsides, however.
she changed her course and ran back
closely followed by the Federal monitor
Tecumseh.
As the Tecumseh neared the fort
pounding away at the ram with fifteen.
inch solid shot, she struck floating
torpedo and exploded it. As was after.
ward ascertained by the divers, the ex.
plosion tore a hole in her bottom mora
than twenty feet square, and she sank
like stone-turning over as she went
down in eight fathoms Of water.
BY this frightful disaster one hundred
and ten out of one hundred and twenty
men were lost in a single instant.
Commander Tunis A. NJ. Craven, one
Of the most gallant officers in the service,
lost his life through his noble disregard
of self He was in the pilot-house with
/ the pilot, close to the only opening in
the whole ship. and this only large
enough to allow one man to pass a.

Captain Craven was already partly out
when the pilot grasped him by the leg,
and cried out: Let me get out first

The Captain drew back, saying 60

while the pilot was saved
A week afterward, when the divers
examined the wreck, they found nearly
all the crew at their posts, just as they
had sunk. The chief engineer who had
been married in New York only two
weeks before, and who had received
from the fagship's mail his letters as
