solid broadsides. Winslow held his
fire for close work, as his guns were
loaded with five seconds shell. The
fight took place in n circle, both ships
sailing around a common center. When
the vessels came within 900 yards of
each other Winslow opened fire. At
every discharge many Of the Confed-
crate gunners went down, and in some
eases Il whole gun crew was wiped
out by \ single shell. The firing Of the
Alabama produced no effect upon the
Kearsarge. and Commander Semmes
ordered his ship steered for the French

nearer and gave the Alabama volley
after volley. Within one hour after FIR
