of Boston harbor was that which
was by the new Leyland line steamer
Victorian when she started for home

bushels of grain, 1900 tons of -four,
100 tons of provisions, 800 tons of
resin, $500 bales of cotton, 500 tons
of leather and leather goods, 26O
tons of dressed beef, 100 tons of lum-
Der and Is tons of hay and feed for
cattle. In addition was put on board
at the moment of sailing 654 head of
cattle and 1891 of sheep. Then there
was the ships own coal, of which $50.
tons were carried, and it is little
wonder that the vessel drew 80 feet

them a substantial sum in this way

The Deadly Merrimac.

Before give Lieutenant How

me say something of the events of
the day preceding. Lieutenant
Howard had arrived on his brig in
Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1895-08-08
The Monitor Arrears.

When the day broke, however,
there was new figure on the scene.
1t looked says Mr.. Howard, like
a massive iron turtle, with gigan-
tic black cheese box on is back, and
it swan to and fro in 'front.' of the
Minnesota. and between it and the
Merrimac.' As the day grew br;gh-
ter, through their glasses the con-
federate officers could get better
idea Of this new marine monster.
1t was apparently a raft plated with
iron, with a great round tower ris-
ing from its center. As the officers
looked they saw this tower move
slowly about, and two mighty H.
iuch guns were pointed in the di-
rection Of the Merrimac. They had
read about t,his vessel which was be-
ing made. They knew it was Erics'
sons Monitor, and they thought II
the strangest looking vess'ei whicn
up to that time had foated up N the
sea. 1t looked very small bes, IL
the mighty Merrimac, and its two
guns did not appear inyulnerable
in comparison with their 10. Its
speed says Lieutenant Howard,
was not more than five knots an
hour, or just about the same as the
Merrimac, but its small size enabled
it to move about more quickly, and
it was more manageable in every
way. 1t had left New York two
days before, and when it was still
90 miles from Fortress Monroe its
officers could hear the booming Of
the guns of the engagement of the
MerrImac with the Cumberland and
Congress. When | went on board
of her the Congress was still blaz'
ing, and Captain Worden had just
heard of the terrible destruction
which the Merrimac had accom-
plished that day. He was showr

TEE MONITORS PILOT TELLS
THE STORY O. THE FIGHT
WITH THE NERRINAc.

Among tho bills which will be
presented to Congress at the COM
ing session will be one for the IN
crease Of the rank of Lieutenant
Samuel Howard. Lieutenant How
ard came within one-tenth of l per
cent of passing the technical exam
ination given by the Department of
the Navy in 1876, and was refused
a second examination. Commit
tees of Congress have reported in
favor of the bill, and, if passed, it
viii be only justice to one of the
bravest men the United States has
ever known. Among the most he
roic acts of the late Civil War was
that of this man Howard when he
volunteered to act as the pilot of
the Monitor in its terrible fight with
the MerrImac at Hampton Roads.
He carried the vessel throughout
that engagement, and his story of
that awful fight is now here given
for the first time to the public.

How Howard was Appointed.

The main facts of the engage
ment between the Monitor and the
Merrimac are well known, but there
are many details which have never
been given to the public. 1t is safe
to say that had it not been for
Samuel Howard there would have
been no action that day. The Mer-
rimac would have returned and the
Minnesota and millions of dollars
worth of Uncle Sans property
would have been destroyed. When
the Monitor came in to Fortress
Monroe she found herself unable to
60 into action for the want of a
pilot. She had been brought from
the North by a Baltimore man who
sympathized with the South, and
when Fortress Monroe was reached
this man refused to take the little
iron monster out against the Mer-
rimac. The pilots on the boats al
Hampton Roads were also Southern
sympathizers, and either from this
or from cowardice they refused to
act. They said they knew nothing
about the waters, and Captain Wor-
den was in despair when he was
called upon by Samuel Howard and
Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1895-08-08

the ships until the Merrimsc was
seen steamIng toward them. The
guns were however quickly put in
order, and, as the queer monster of
iron moved up, the Cumberland
opened with her heavy guns and
the Congress came to her aid. The
shore batteries Joined in, but the
balls fell from the iron sides of the
Merrimac without penetrating them
and she still came on. She did not
fire until she was within easy range,
when she gave a bIoads;de at the
Congress. She did not stop here,
but pointing her iron prov at the
Cumberland, she put on full steam
and made for it, The ship was
struck at right angles, and the hole
made was so large that horse and
cart could have been driven through
it without touching its side. 1t was
so skillfully done that the sailors on
the Merrimac afterward said that
they hardly felt the shock. With
this great hole in her side the Cum

The Congress Burned.
The Merrlmac, after striking the
Cumberland, backed out and began
new attack upon the Congress.
The men at Fortress Monroe could
see the smoke Of both vessels as
they rained shot and shell upon one
another. Finally the Congress ran
aground, and her officers seeing
that they could do nothing more,
ran up the white flag. In her
grounded condition the Merrimac
could not possisB take her, and,
after taking o<ssew prisoners, they
shelled her with hot shot. She was
soon a mass Of flames, and she was
still burning when the Monitor ar
rived. In the meantime the [ nited
hJIdiSS II SalSSs lHc ltOduoht, tnc
st. Lawrence and the Minnesota,
had sailed from Fortress Monroe to
the rescue. The necessity of good
pilot-ean be. seen by Mhat followed.
The ships had hardly started before
they ran aground, and the -herri-
mac, having finished up the Cum
berland and the Congress, was now
ready to steam toward them. 1t
was, hoYkhate Saturday after
noon; Ne tide had changed, and
the ffots'of the Merrimac said that
she must draw off until morning,
or she would also 90 aground. Their
advice was taken, and the ship drew
off to the southern side of Hampton
Roads, near Sewall's Point, its Of
ficers intending to come back and
destroy the Minnesota the next
day.

United States for many years be-
fore the war began. He had been
several times captain of vessel,
and, as Il naturalized American cit
i1en, he put himself at the service
of Uncle Sam as soon as the war
opened. He was appointed acting
master of the brig Amanda, whose
duty it was to coast up and down
the eastern shores of the Atlantic
and capture the ships that tried to
run our blockade, and he left this
ship to act as pilot for the Monitor.
Speaking of his modesty, he evil
IDENTIFY thinks that he did no more
than any other man would have
done under similar circumstances,
and when l asked him whether he
was not afraid when he was penned
up in that little iron box with the
shot and shell raining down upon
it, he replied:
Il had no time to think of being
afraid. 1t was all | could do to
keep the boat moving according to
the directions of Captain Worden,
who stood in the pilot-house by my
side"
