Admiral Farragut went to sea when
only : years old and became a mid.

the harbor of Valparaiso, where his
commander, Porter, was defeated by
the British.

talking to q Pittsburgh Dispatch writ
er, IA round shot came through the
side OF the ship, striking a gunner full
in tile breast and hurting his mangled
body half way across the deck. The
sight made me sick for a moment and
j grew dizzy and staggered back, but
the feeling lasted only an instant, for
the shot came so thick and fast that
the deck was strewn with dead and
wounded. Fifteen men were killed at
a single battery. AS the men and Off

ternaster, captains aide and powder
boy by turns, but as the slaughter in

Porter never meant to surrender.
When his last hope was gone he saw
that his wrecked vessel had drifted
with less than a mile from shore,
called all hands on deck, and, amid
the crashing shots that were making

that all who wished to do so might

he looked on the crowd OF wounded

felt it would be cruel to let them 20
helplessly to the bottom. So he struck
his colors."
