Kearsarge and Alabama

The recent disaster of the United
States cruiser Kearsarge, recalls to
memory her great victory over the
Confederate ship.of- war, Alabama.
The Confederate ship, after securing
the high seas and capturing over sixtT
vessels, put into the harbor of Cher
0ourg, France. To the surprise of
Captain Semmes the national cruiser.
Aearsarge, was lying in the bay.
Inc Southern commander, finding
that ne could not get away from his
active antagonist, sent Captain Wins
low challenge.
The Yankee officer gladly accented
1t. Immediately the blue-iackets were
called to quarters to prepare for action.
Every OLD gunner was standing bv his
gun, waiting for the command. They
dld not, however, have to wait LONG
for the Alabama steamed out and
opened fire. O
captain WinslOw took his shin into
Gne engagement in such a way, that
MS enemies ship was compelled to
move round in a circular track. while
ne tr'iaad his guns on her with fear
tul eli Il. On the seventh rotation tbe
Confederate ship ran up the white fiao
and in short time sunk. Her crew
was rescued by the American man-of-
war and an English yacht. Thus did
the Kearsarge conquer the Alabama.
For several years the Navy Depart-
ment has been intending on putting
the Kearsarge out of commission and
placing her in a public place where
sne could be seen and admired by
every HbertY-lOving American. but
now the sacred relic is in the bottom
of the sea. ~
