over the contending forces.
WHAT OF THE MORROW.
The night was still and calm, stars
shining brightly overhead, while a
fog hung close to the water. | was
on the first relief and took post at s
o. m. out on the beach about 600
yards north of the water battery,
with strict orders to allow no boats to
pass in or out without learning their
business. ! marched up and down,
wondering what would happen in the
morning The Congress was still
burning, and every man was under
arms The ships bells noting the
hour sounded clear over the water.
About $50 O'Clock my attention
was called to the sound of rapidly
moving oars. Here might be rebel
boat seeking information, and I chal-
Ienged briskly. No answer. l chal-
lenged again and no answer came.
Then l was sure it was rebel patrol.
The sound indicated a large boat
with many oars, but the fog prevent
ed our seeing it. ! challenged third
time:
BOAT ahoy. Come ashore or I'll
shoot"
They heard me, and the answer,
"We coming" took me close to the
water, with rifle ready for instant ac-
tion, when an eight-oared boat came
driven hard and fast on the white
sand, within six feet Of where stood.
"What boat Is that?'
1.-THE Monitors boat, Lieut.. Wor-
den in command. For Gods sake,
don't detain me- ..
"What do you want?'' / asked, feel

Lieut.. Worden was directed where
to land and find an escort to take
him inside the fort, where Gen. Wool
would give him the heartiest welcome
he ever got. | called for no officer Of
the guard but sent Worden on his
way as quickly as possible, and felt
that the country was safe again, be-
lieving that the Monitor was marine
monster capable of running down the
Merrimac or any vessel afloat. Such
was the impression formed from what
had been heard from the north.
At ten o'clock l was relieved and

covered they felt that the Merrimac

pounding each other with iron enough
to have sunk whole wooden fleet.
MERRIMAC GIVES UP THE FIGHT.
It was a sight one can never forget.
1t was a contest of iron gladiators
differently constructed. One carried
eight guns, the other two, but none
of the guns had powder enough TO
drive their iron bolts through
Worden used fifteen pounds and want
ed to make it twenty-five, but the
government said his guns wouldn't
stand it.
The battle continued until about 3
o'clock, and the union forces cheered
every sign of victory until the Merri-
mac turned and headed for Norfork.
Then the sea and the land seemed
filled with soldiers and sailors.
The main battle was fought between
the Merrimac and the Monitor, but

q Monitor VS.. Memac Story Of the Battle by an Eyewitness q
By ARTHUR LINN
Of Company H. Tenth New York
ZouaveS.

Fifty years ago, and to be particular,
it was on Saturday, March s, 1862,
that one OF the greatest and most i'm
portant events of the civil war took
place, an event that created constern-
alton throughout The north and told
the world that their great big wooden
hattleShipS were worthless, and that
Il new engine had been created that
called for a change in naval warefare.
The news that was sent from Fortress
Monroe to Washington and all over
the north in the afternoon of March
8, 1862, created CONSERVATION in every
seaboard city and Washington was
not safe, and again the news that
flashed over the wires on that beauti-
rul Sabbath afternoon of March 9,
told that the rebel marine monster
had met her master in the little
Monitor and the country was safe
again.
Saturday, March S, 1862. was a love-
ly day. The sun was shining brightly
and warm. and not a breath Of air
was stirring. Trees around the for
tress were in bud, and the grass lawns
were green and sweet to look upon.
a gentle ocean swell rolled in from
the capeS, but not a ripple disturbed
the Shimmering eXpanse of water up
on which hundreds of vessels rode at
anchor, from the hayladen schooners
for McClellan'S army to the magniti-
cent wooden frigates, represented by
the Minnesota and Colorado, sister
vessels OF the Merrimac before she had
been "rebeliZed,' and said to be
equal to the best warships in service
at that time.
SETTING OF A GREAT DRAMA.
The writer was member of Com
pany Fl. Tenth New York Zouaves,
then doing garrison duty at Fortress
Monroe, and was among those detail
ed for guard and duty that fateful
day. The detail to which | belonged
was assigned to the old water bat
terry 22-gun stone and earth struc-
ture, facing the harbor, but outside
of the moat and main fortress. With
one or two others l was enjoying the
sunshine and magnificent scene from
the roof of the battery.
Close to the Rip Raps lay the frig-
ate Colorado, with broken shaft,
and between her and the Minnesota
lay the hospital hulk, once the IA

Surprise Party.

On Tuesday evening, Feb 27, fifty
one neighbors OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Beck, quietly entered the fine Beck
home out on the farm and demanded
unconditional surrender, and Mr.. and
Mrs. b. concluded that 1t was about
the only thing they could do, seeing
they were outnum bered. The sur
prisers took possession and then they
began to unpack baskets and such an
array OF good things surprised the
surprisers, and then a royal feast be-
gan and merriment and Joy flowed as
freely as the good wishes OF the sur
prisers for the surprised. Before the
joys Of the night were over substan-
tial purse was presented Mr.. and Mrs.
Beck with which to purchase
souvenir Of the occasion.

placid waters before the report was
into hasty and permanent retreat.
That big gun had been sent down
from Washington TO keep the Merri'
mac at home, and the chief gunner,
Sergeant Welsh, said he could have
sunk the Merrimac with one shot
but ne never got the chance.
During the ironclad fight when a
shot missed on either side we could
see u streak Of white foam for a mile
or two as The shot plOwed Its way over
the surface OF the water. Hundreds
of loads OF dead fish t1oated ashore,
killed by the concussion of the big
guns.
THE GALLANT WoEDRN BLINDED.
Lieut.. Worden was knocked sense
less and blinded by the explosion Of a
rebel shell within eleven inches of his
face as he stood peeping through a
narrow slit in the little pilot house.
The rebels claimed the battle 4
draw, but 1t was nothing of the kind.
The Merrimac had six feet Of water
in her hold when she reached the dry
dock and was compelled to fee for
safety The Monitor was In good
fighting condition when the battle
was over, but her crew was exhausted
owing to lack of ventilation.
To cover the details of that won.
derful fight would take small sized
book, but the aim of this article is
TO relate the important events briefly.
During The ironclad fight the half
naked mem bers OF the Cumberland
and Congress crews, most of whom
had escaped by swimming. arrived at
Fortress Monroe, and our boys divided
clothing with and fed them How
they did cheer when they saw the
Merrimac run. Some even wept for
faces, a remarkable contrast for men
who faced death the day before like
heroes.
The news Of the great battle Grav-
and the Washington officials came
down in boatload. Poor Worden
was blind, and the Monitor lay at
anchor close to the fort. Her deck
showed few rough scars, while the
turret showed only two dents, but
nouhing serious. The Minnesota was
pulled of the sandbar and did service
for many years after.
DESTRUCTION OF THE MERRIMAC.
From the 9th of March TO the Sth
of May, 1862, the Merrimac was looked
upon by many as still match for the
Monitor, but they never fought again
although both lay within a mile or
two of each other in the bay on three
occasions. The men walked the
decks of each in plain view, but never
hostile shot. Both had orders not
