ragut's other vessels in forcing an en-
trance to the Mississippi river, and
again when the fleet ran the gauntlet
of fire from the forts below New Or
leans, in April, 1852, and forced the
surrender Of that city. The ship he
was in belonged to Captain Bailey's
division of the fleet which attacked
Fort St. Philip.
|, The hottest fight that the Mississippi
ever engaged in was her last one, and
this was perhaps as hot as any OF the
war. In March, 1863, the fleet tried
to run by the Confederate batteries at
Port Hudson. Some Of the ships got
as far as a narrow part Of the chan
mel, where they met land batteries al
most muzzle to muzzle, and then they
were forced to retreat. The Missis-
sippi did not get as far as this. A
foggy day had been chosen for the at
tempt, and this was soon made more
obscure by the smoke Of battle, and
amid this the Mississippi lost her bear
ings and ran ashore. Her officers
found she had struck just under the
guns of battery in the middle Of the
line of Notifications, and one of the
strongest of the lot. In half an hour
ESQ shots struck the vessel and she
was riddled from end to end. There
was no chance to hold her, and her
crew took to their boats and landed on
the opposite side of the river, after
setting her on fire. Soon, lightened by
the loss of the crew and by the fire,
she drifted off, and, blazing and salut-
ing with bursting shells, she drifted
down the river, until finally the fire
reached her magazine, and her career
was ended in one great explosion.
Dewey was next attached to the
steam gunboat Agawan, of the North
Atlantic blockading squadron, and he
took part in the two attacks made
on Fort Fisher in December, 1864, and
January, 1866. In March, 1866, he got
his commission as lieutenant-com-
mander, and as such served on the
famous old Kearsarge and on the COL
orado, the flagship Of the European
squadron, until 1868, when he was sent
for service to the Naval academy. He
was commissioned commodore on Feb
ruary %. 1896.
OF the captains serving under Com
modore Dewey, Charles V. Gridley, of
the flagship OLYMPIA, was born in In
diana, but was appointed cadet from
Michigan on September 26, 1860. He
remained in the Naval academy until
1863. when be was made an ensign
