later left Honolulu at night. On
June 20 the Alexandria was in
tercepted in Behring sea by the United
States steamer Mohican. The Mohican
ordered the Alexandria to lay to. but
instead of doing so the Alexandria in
creased her speed and attempted to
escape. The Mohicau pursued her and
fired two blank shots across her bow as
q signal for her to heave to. In supreme
disregard Of the order Of the Alexandria
steamed faster, and when the Mohicau
fired another blank cartridge, the Alex.
andria turned her ~six-pounder on her
>pursuer and sent a shell
Crashing Through the sides
Of the warship and into her gunroom.
The ball played havoc with the ships
machinery and completely disabled the
Mohican. AT this juncture a dense fog
arose and the Alexandria made her 90.
