EFAg navy set to work to smash
" things in the civil war the
- fight was to the finish, and
it made no difference that wooden
ships were sent against land forts.

great chances, and boldnesS carried
the day.

was equal to the work of breaking

raids and close the inlets to the

of offense, and the inlet had been forti-
fed with two works commanding the

passes through the narrow bluffs. the

with bombproof chambers, mounting
twenty-five guns. This was the main
point of resistance. The mouth of the
inlet is covered by sand bar. which
compels ships to follow narrow chan
mel in order to pass through, and
hence there was no sea room for
maneuver in front of the hostile guns.
South of Fort Hatteras, the large one
in the pass, there is bay half
mile wide, which ships must cross In
order to reach the channel, and as a
sort of outwork or picket to hold
up the enemy and give warning to
the garrison at Hatteras the south
