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 a battery In the middle OF the
line OF Notifications, and one OF the
strongest OF the lot. In half an hour
$50 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-
