balls struck the launch, wounding some of the men,
and missing the leader narrowly that the back of
his coat and the sole of his shoe by bullets
After running back a short distance, the Lieu
tenant turned the bow of the launch toward the ram
once more and, ordering the engineer to put on all
possible speed, steered straight for the vessel which
shooting out jets of flame more and more
rapidly. In this brief and exciting time Cushing had
made up his mind that the logs composing the bar
rer were slippery enough, if indeed they were not
actually covered with watery slime, to allow the
launch to slide over them with the Roadway now
obtained. Once over it would be possible to re-
turn; but to this consideration he attached no i'm
portance.
Tied to his wrists and ankles as he stood in the
bow were the lines of rope by which he controlled the
movements of the boat and also the mechanism of
the torpedo: What amazing GOODNESS was required
of him! To guide the boat into certain position
to lower the torpedo at the exact moment. to wait
few seconds for it to rise under the vessels quarter
before pulling the trigger line to explode it, were
difficult operations in themselves. But now, when
the launch struck and and slid over the log bar
rier, and glided into the still pool beside the Abe
marie, the fire of hundred men was directed upon
it with frantic energy. The thing must be done
while rifle gun was aiming not dozen feet away.
Those in the launch could hear the orders and the
movement to depress the muzzle before firing

last, after horrible interval, they saw him twitch
the line of rope made fast to his wrist.
The explosion followed instantly, and at the same
moment bubbling wave rose higher and higher
above the launch, then fell heavily nboard, sending
the rddled shell of the little boat straight to the bot
tom. AS the boat went down Gushing shouted to
his to themselves. Some called out I'VE
surrender but not heard in the din and uproar
of firing; sank in the river; while Others at
tempted to escape by swimming toward the dark

little interest in the danger of his situation. The in
cessant, choking waves, the unknown expanse of
water the peril of capture,-all nothing beside
the thought which beset him, Had he succeeded?
Perhaps" he thought the torpedo was not in the
right place after all; perhaps exploded it too soon.
The doubt was distressing that he felt strong in

eyes whether she had sunk or not or at least to
hear what they were saying.

chief among the thrilling exploits of the navy
~ in the Civil War stands the night attack
upon the Confederate ram Albemarle. The enter
prise of man, who carried it through with skill
and precision in the face of appalling dangers, this
incident shines out with peculiar brilliance in the
multitude of raids and adventures.
All summer in 1864 the Federal gunboats inside
of Hatteras Bar at the mercy of the Rebel IRON
clad, which was vastly more formidable than any
vessel the Government could send to these waters.
Built like monstrous scow, carrying battery of
which armor clad, and with ponderous iron
ram, the Abemarle was launched in the Roanoke
River, at the mouth of which lay the Union feet.
The work of destruction begun. The town
of Plymouth captured with its forts; in
day seven of our steamers were sunk crippled by
the invulnerable ram.
When disaster followed another the anxiety
of the authorities at Washington greatly sharp
ened by feeling of humiliation, since they were
powerless to succor the feet The order had been
given to construct Federal to send against the
Albemare; but this required long time, and daily
the situation became more harasslng. By Septem-
Der the Navy Department was ready to accept and
aid any scheme, however rash and precarious which
might bring relief
Such plan proposed by young officer,
Lieutenant W. B. Cushing, famous for his raid in
Cape Fear River and brother of the hero of Gettys
burg. Because he was known brave and most
determined man, Cushing granted the necessary
support for his undertaking, though few believed
that he possibly could be successful He then
brought from New York open launch, fitted with
gun and attachment for bearing a torpedo, by
means of boom suspended the bow and,
joining the gunboats at the mouth of the Roanoke
waited for favorable night
