IN the naval histor; OF the late war.
Captain Harris is ranked as an able
and heroic commander. When the

Captain Harris was selected 10 take

The history Of the b~attleship Arkan-
sas, its passage through the fleet of
tcGerals and safe anchorage under the
batteries of Vicksburg, is familiar to
ali students and veterans of the late
war. The part that Captain Harris
! played in the terrible conflict between
the Arkansas and the combined fleets
OF the Federals, is one worthy OF tie

and when the gauntlet had almost been
run, but a handful of valiant guaners

more vOlleys the guns OF those were
disabled, and when the Arkansas Lad

Captain Harris remained in charge
Of the battery on the Arkansas during
the fierce attempt made by the COM
bined Federal fleets to destroy it.
From his guns he belched such a terri
Bile fire that the ships sent to destroy

treat. Later, when the Arkansas was
ordered to Baton Rouge, Captain Har-
ris still remained in command OF the
battery. Eot until his ship was dis
abled and the crew ordered toabandon
and destroy it, did he leave MS post.
Then he vent forth as though bidding
his dearest friend good-by.
Since the war Captain Harris has
