powerful force ever commanded by an
American Admiral. Such a gigantic force
would not be maintained on one station
in time of peace. Many OF the auxiliary
vessels and the monitors which are I'M

from commission and laid up in the navy

But with the exception of the Eastern

when the enemy was directing a heavy

number of our troops carried black
