there were two or three little affairs

vateer Judah. which lay at the old
United States navy yard on the east
of Fort Pickens This daring action
was described by Confederate wit

About 8 o'clock in the morning five
launches containing about thirty men
each pulled across from Santa Rosa
island to the navy yard. a distance Of
about two miles. Each launch had in

pulled rapidly to the schooner and
grappled to her. when their leader

Homes and Churches Ablaze.

Late in the afternoon the hospital in
the navy yard. which the Confeder-
ates had abandoned. was struck by
shells from Fort Pickens. General
Bragg claimed that the yellow flag was
flying and that the firing upon it was
a barbarous act. General Bragg also
mentioned the firing of hot shot and
incendiary shells into the houses of the
villages of Warrington and Woolsey.
Many houses were struck. Among the
buildings fired were two Catholic
churches. which were consumed with
fifty other buildings. Colonel Brown.
the Federal commander stated in his
report that the churches and the vii
lagos were Immediately in rear of
some of the Confederate batteries and
that it was impossible to spare them.
At the same time he declared that hot
shot and incendiary shells were used
for the express purpose of setting fire to
the buildings in the old United States
navy yard. even regretting that be did
not have on hand missiles that would
act with more certainty.
Federal fire ceased at dark on the
23d from all the batteries except the
mortars. which continued to drop shots
in the enemys lines until o'clock in
the morning of the 24th. General
| Bragg said that his gunners fired about
1000 shells at the Federals during the
two days. and he estimated the num-

Forts and Ships Open Fire.

The action of the 22d1of November
was brought on by Colonel Harvey
Brown. acting in concert with Flag
Officer Mexican of the navy. Seeing
that the Confederates were continual
ly strengthening their batteries on the
mainland, they decided to make one
vigorous attempt to silence Fort Nc
Rec. The warships were depended
upon for principal share of the work.
There were two of them. both of the
best type of gunboats of that era. The
largest, the Niagara. was ship of
4,50O tons. new screw propeller, the
largest in the navy. Her consort. the
sloop Richmond was of later construc-
ton. Fire was opened early on the
morning of Nov. % upon Fort McRee
and four batteries which had been
erected close alongside of it. The Con
federate guns in Fort McRee and Fort
Barancas. and fourteen separate bat
teries distributed on a semicircle ex-
tending over four miles responded Wig
orously. and for the first time Pensa-
cola harbor resounded with the crash
of cannonade. When the signal gun
was fred from Fort Pickens the fri

rapidly toward Fort McRee regard
less of the enemy's shots. UHfortu-
nately the deep draft of both vessels
prevented them from getting close
enough to the fort to make their guns
effective. However. they were able to
witness the effect of the shots fired
from Fort Pickens and signal to the
gunners in the fort how to direct their
shells. The ships remained nearly all
day within fairly good range of Fort
McRee and poured into this work
broadsides Of the heaviest metal.
Their position was such that the guns
of the fort did not bear upon them
effectively. But the Confederates had
erected a water battery alongside.
