When, aiioat and ashore. the can

was one Of grandeur. The racket

aroused before. The gunners In the
forts, after working the big guns for
a few minutes. had to desert them
and quickly manned the secondary
batteries. The rapid.Aring guns made
as great a din as the big ones. and
u anything made the picture n live
iier one. The five vessels kept In al
most under Fort Adams, until within
short range of the torpedo station,
and then they appeared TO anchor.
The firing stopped and II was sup.
posed the great battle was ended. In
half an hour the ships suddenly
steamed out Of the harbor In the same
order as coming in, tho Brooklyn

rs the time the Brooklyn was
abreast of Fort Wctherill the gun
ners on that fertilization had for
saken the big guns and taken up the
secondary battery. II was then that
the nreoklyn'a guns began TO speak.
This was ut ten o'clock, and for half
nn hour afterward there was one con.
tinuous roar both from ships and
shore. The fighting was at close
quarters, so that nothing but rapid
FIRE guns could be used. Every ship
was enveioped IN sheets of fame,
while all along the shore of Fort
Wetherill on the left, and Fort Adams
on the right. there was a continuous
cannonmde. The Brooklyn reached
the head Of the harbor at io;3o and
all the battleships were well inside a
few minutes later.
The battle was one Of the most
spectacular affairs ever seen in this
vicinity. and tho roar shook Newport
10 its foundations.
The attacking Ahips kept up the
harbor until they were almost under
the walls of Fort Adams and nearly
abreast of the torpedo statioa. There
they appeared to anchor, and every.
one thought that the fght was at NJ
