Sherman's Fight ::$: ISL
"''sr IS; .*.' AT Mission RIDGE

Copyright 1903, by G. l. Kilmer.]
= HERMAN opened the combat at
Mission ridge Nov. ~, 1863,
while Fighting joe Hooker
was battling above the clouds
on Lookout mountain. Had the battle
on the Federal side fallen out as plan
ned by Grant his favorite lieutenant
would have come in for the chief hon.
ors of the field.
The task laid out for Sherman was to
turn the right flank Of Bragg's Confed-
crate army on Mission ridge and strike
the roads behind the ridge so as to cut
OF the enemy's supplies. If successful
1t would be finishing blow to the Con-
federates at Chattanooga. For weeks
Bragg had been fortifying the ridge.
TO him it seemed impregnable and his
enemy much preferred the prospect of
marching around it. with some fight
Ing, to going against it direct.
Braggs main line was two miles in
length. Hooker. on Lookout mountain,
was pounding at the Confederate left
flank, and sturdy old Thomas. with
the Army of the Cumberland, faced the
guns and breastWorks in the center.
AS Grant planned the attack Sherman
and Hooker would march entirely
around Bragg and join forces in bis
rear, while Thomas merely kept up a
show of strength in the center.
When Sherman started in to take up
his end of the attack the Tennessee
river rolled between his troops and the
enemy. The whole region was under
the guns on the ridge and the landing
places on the southern bank defended
by strong Confederate guards. These

landings must be captured and their
guards supplanted by boys in blue or
the crossing Of solid masses of troops
with their guns would be attended with
horrible slaughter. Soon after midnight
the morning Of the 9th hundred
pontoon boats slipped out of their hid
ing and dropped down the Tennessee
opposite Sherman's bivouac Silently
and swiftly. without loud word or q
rustic of accouterments. thirty armed
men filed into each boat. and the TO-
tilla roWed to the southern shore The
men in the leading boats quickly made
landing and marched down inside the
Confederate picket lines. capturing the
soldiers on the outlook and soaring the
others into fight.
With the river front cleared OF pry-
ing eyes and still more dangerous rifles
the boats lined up along shore. and
5000 men, spade in one hand and mus
ket in the other, advanced a few rods
through the thicket and began to in

night the boats piled back and forth.
aided by steamer, and in the morn
ing the COnfederates were astounded
to see line Of breastworks a mile
long filed with Yankees on the south
bank Of the river below Chattanooga.
At the dawn of day the troops on
shore began chasing the outposts away
from the low foothills of the ridge,
and while this kept the attention of
the enemy bridge was laid, and Sher-
mau's whole army crossed over. A
drizzling rain was falling. and the
clouds were so low that the scene of
Sherman's operations in the valley was
Invisible to, the enemy on the ridge.
Sherman's men could not see the crests
OF the ridge and were astonished to
find on climbing the first elevation in
front that it was only foothill of the
mountain. A division climbed to the
crest, dragging guns up by hand. A
farmer came out to protest against the
invasion Of his land, and the men were
tempted into a cheer for the old mans
eloquent harangue. This brought down
the fire of Confederate battery hid
den by; the mist. A she'll scared the
farmer away. and the cannonading
scattered the clouds. revealing to the
boys in blue that they would have a
long road to travel to reach Mission;
ridge.
Day dawned clear on the 25th, and
then the dangers Of Sherman's posi-
ton were made plain A wide valley

separated the hill he had captured
from the end Of Mission ridge. A road
led down from the enemy's lines into
the valley. and railroad tunnel, cut.
ting through the ridge, provided a per-
rect covered way for the marching of
troops out of reach of hostile fire. Dur
Ing the night Sherman had massed
troops for an early assault on every
thing In front, and at sunrise one d.
vision marched to the sound of the
Dugle. while crash of musketry along
the whole ridge greeted the charging
line. Instantly Bragg saw what Sher-
man was aiming for. If he carried
Tunnel hill he could pass up the valley
on the line Of the railroad to the sta
ton where the Confederate supplies
were stored. Salvation for the Confed-
crates on Mission ridge lay in piling
everything at hand upon Sherman. All
night long the Federals had heard the
sound of hauling guns into position on
the ridge, and wherever moving troops
could be seen in the morning light they
were marching to head off Sherman.
The assailants were checked in their
ascent at ridge just below the Con-
> federate breastworks. As the brow Of
the ridge hid them from the range of
muskets fired from above. the men in
the breastworks threw heavy stones
down among them. In front of Maney's
Tennessee brigade Sherman's men
crawled up to within fifteen PAGES.
With the Tennesseeans were three Ma
poleon guns. captured by them at Per-
ryville the year before. These pieces
were silenced by the terrible fire poured
In by Sherman's men. The spokes of

the cannon wheels, musket stocks,
swabstaffs. flagstaffs - anything large
enough to catch bullet was splintered.
In expectation Of final dash by
Sherman's line the Napoleons had been
double shotted with canister. The Fed
eral brigade Of J. E. Smith lay in front
close to the Tennesseeans' breastworks.
Suddenly the Confederate soldiers took
it into their heads to end the deadlock
there on Tunnel hill, and three COM
panies Of the First Tennessee, acting
on their own hook, leaped over the
parapet on the flank of Smiths brigade
and started to roll up the Federal line.
The artillerists swung the Napoleons
around to sweep the crest lengthwise
and let fly the showers of grape. Then
Maney's brigade, followed by another,
rushed over the works. and in two Sec
onds Sherman's column was formless
mob, some surging up hill, half drag
ged as prisoners Of war to the Tennes-
seeans: others sliding and tumbling
downhill to get away.
The master stroke Of the Tennessee
ans set the whole ridge ablaze with
battle. The Confederates took hope
and commenced an awful cannonade
upon Sherman's men. Federal batter
les which had got into position for long
range firing sent their shells scream

troops. Commands and warnings were

HUNTING QUEER PREY i

we had gone out to the Solidar reefs.
nfty miles to the south of Ceylon, to
capture If possible living specimen of
the octopus or devilfish for the Bonn
bay museum. After arriving and an
ch0ring the bark a. safe distance from
the reefs we pulled in with the yawl to
look Tor signs of the prey We were
after. We had every reason to believe
that he was "at home in shallow
cave at the base of big rock, but we
had orders not to go too close.
Next morning two boats approached
the rocks from opposite sides, and Pro-
1essor Grimshaw, who had charge of
the expedition, landed to make a close
inspection. Our approach was made as
silently as possible, and the professor
removed his boots before landing.
There was no danger of the octopus
running away If he was there, but we
had some plans to lay in advance. Aft
er some, spying about he was located in
the cavern spoken Of, and the professor
was dlsmayed at the size of the crea-
1nre. He had counted five great tenta-
cIes, and the bulk of the octopus was
that of big barrel 1t was decided
that its feeding time would be about
high water, and at low water it might
come out to lie ON the rocks or swim in
the channel. 1t was for low water we
waited, and before the tide had run
out we landed on the rock again and
stretched two large fish nets across it
and weighted them at the corners with
stones to prevent their being carried
away.
In the channel we stretched other
nets, and ut dead low water we hauled
on to see if anything would occur.
Something did. The octopus decided
to take a little ramble, and he came
down the channel toward our f1otilla.
When he reached the net and found
his progress checked he was furious
in an instant and did just what we
hoped he would do. He seized it and
began pulling and hauling. and in a
minute or two he was all tangled up.
For the next quarter of an hour we
were treated to a rare exhibition No
whale could have made the fuss that
monster did. In his struggles he threw
water twenty feet high and for fifty
feet around him, and now and then he
raised an arm high in the air and
swept it around him like fail and
with such swish as limb would
make in the hands of giant The
net was Of the strongest material, and
when he ceased to struggle we realized
that he was pretty we'll tangled up
We could do nothing more toward his
capture Just then. however. as the tide
