WAR "REMINISCENCES.
FATE OF THE INDIANoLA.
Ludicrous Incident on the Mississippi
During the Late War.

Ludicrous IncideBt the Mississippi
During the Late War.
The confederates did not gain much
by their capture of the Indianola. Her
fate was one of the most ludicrous
events of the war She was patched
up 50 that she would float and then
taken to Warrentown, a village eight
miles below Vicksburg. There the
confederates went quickly to work re-
pairing her, intending, with that splen-
did steamer added to the Queen of the
West, to enter upon a brilliant career
of river victories
But these hopes were destined to dis
appointment, and at that in a most I'M
heard-of manner.
The sailors in the federal fleet above
Vicksburg planned to play trick on
the confederates in Vlcksburg, no6
thinking of anything but a joke. So
they took an old coal barge which they
had found floating down the river, and
in a few hours piled up timbers on her
sides to make her look like one of their
gunboats Pork barrels were piled on
top of each other for smokestacks, and
two old canoes were used for quarter
boats The furnaces were built of
mud, and only intended to make black
smoke and not steam.
One dark night slow burning, smudgy
fires were built in the mud furnaces,
and the queer craft was showed out into

the current and started floating down
the river past Vicksburg. When the
lookouts on the batteries saw her there
was a great commotion, and every gun
along the shore opened fire on her. The
earth trembled under the mighty dis
charges, and shot after shot struck the
supposed war vessel But as there were
no boilers on her to blow up or powder
to explode, and as she could not sink,
she moved majestically and slowly
along, not even deigning to reply to the
mighty avalanche Of shot and shell
which was hurled at her For over an
hour she was under fire, and then
passed beyond the batteries
All this time there was CONSERVATION
in ViclSsburg. Information Of the APP
proach Of the terrible monster which
their shot could not harm was sent 10y
the confederates to the Queen of the
West and the Indianola at Warren
town The Queen of the West instant
ly got up steam and rushed away down
the river as fast as her engines could
drive her. The Indianola was not in
condition TO fly, so the authorities at
Vicksburg ordered that she be instant
ly blown up A train to her magazine
was laid, the match applied aud IL a
few moments the valuable gunboat was
blown 10 fragments.
The modification Of the confederates
when they learned of how they had
been hoaxed was only equaled by the
exultation and amusement Of the fed
erals. The Queen of the West was aft
erward destroyed in order to escape
capture 1t was real foe that mem
aced her that time. thongh. -Historia.
