This proceeding astonished the COM
mander and officers of the Scarabaus
almost as much as the extraordinary at
tack which had been made upon their
ship. They had expected demand to
surrender and haul down their flag, but
the director-in-chief on board Repeller
No. was of the opinion that with her
propeller extracted it mattered little
what flag she flew. His work with the
Scarabaus was over; for it had been Or
dered by the syndicate that its vessels
should not cucumber themselves with
prizes.
flowed by the powerful crab, which
apparently had no fear that its disabled
adversary might fire upon it, the Scara-
bseus moved toward the harbor, and when
it had come within a quarter Of mile of
the foremost British vessel, Crab A cast
off and steamed back to Repeller No. l.
The other English vessels soon came
up, and each lay to and sent boat to
the Scarabaus. After half an hours
consultation, in which the amazement of
those on board the damaged vessel was
communicated to the officers and crews
of her two consortS, it was determined
that the smaller of these should tow the
disabled ship into port, while the other
one, in company with a man-of-war just
coming out of the harbor, should mako
attack upon RepelIer No. 1.
1t had been plainly proved that ordin-
airy shot and shell had nos effect upon
this craft, but it had not been proved
that she could withstand the rams of
powerful ironclads. If this vessel. that
apparently carried no guns, or at least,
had used none, could be crushed, cap
sized, sunk, or in any way put out Of the
fight, it was probable that the dangerous
submerged nautical machine would not
care to remain in these waters. If it re-
manned it must be destroyed by torpe-
does.
Signals were exchanged between the
two English vessels, and IN a very short
time they were steamlng toward the re-
peller. 1t was dangerous thing for two
vessels of their size to come close enough
together for both to ram an enemy at the
same time; but it was determined to
take the xisks and do this, if possible;
for the destruction of the repeller was
obviously the first duty in hand.
AS the two men-of-war rapidly ap-
preached Repeller No. 1, they kept up a
steady fire upon her, for if in this way
they could damage her, the easier would
be their task. With firm reliance upon
the efficacy of the steel spring armor, the
director-in-chief felt no fear OF the
enemy's shot and shell, but he was not at
all willing that his vessel should be
rammed, for the consequences would
probably be disastrous. Accordingly he
did not wait for the epproach- OF the .1o
