Both the assault and the defense

the defenders and eight guns. Confed-
crates now entered the town, but Fort

%IFTY years ago the third week
in April the long calm which
had rested over the seat OF n

broken by a chain OF stirring events
on land and water on the lower Roam

by General A. e. Burnside's expedi-

Flusser had been warned that the

when General Hoke's skirmishers APP

was taken as a signal that the Abe

fleets rode upon the sounds and rivers.
The Confederate war vessels upon
those waters had been annihilated in
connection with Burnside's operations.
and thenceforth until 1864 no Confed-
crate flag was flung from the mast In
broad daylight north of Wilmington.
The rule of the sounds by the Fed
eral feet was by no mea to the Xix
ing of the Confederates. But the coast
was too well guarded to permit any
respectable war craft to get in. The
old ones had been destroyed or cap
tured. and there were no yards and
shops at hand where new one could be
constructed.
Federal guns frowned from fortress
walls on Plymouth and Newbern,
and Federal vessels rode In their har-
bors. With occasional attempts on the
part of the C~onfederates to end this
unequal state of things two years pass
ed. Orders had been given to con-
struct vessels in the upper waters of
the state. but the work went on slow
~, and in the winter of 1864 it was
decided at Richmond to commence re
deeming North Carolina.
The Iron Ram Albemarle.
A general attempt was decided upon
to secure the important Federal posts
along the whole coast, and a force I'M
der General r. f. Hoke was directed
upon Plymouth. The place was de-
Tended by General 81. ". VESSELS
with about $500 infantry, and In the
river were the wooden gunboats South
field and Miami and an improvised war
vessel. the Bombshell. mounting three
pieces. General Hoke began his opera
tons on the 10th Of April and urged
the commander of the ram Albemarle
to hasten down the river and assail
the Federal ships.
The Albemarle was a brand new con
struction Of pine beams and iron ribs.
which was intended to initiate the
Merrimac and smash the numerous
frail wooden ships Of the Federals in
Albemarle sound. The new ram had
been built during 1868 far up Roanoke
river. the enterprise being attended
with great difficulties owing to the ac-
tivity of the Federals, who were mas
tiers Of all that region. The keel vas
laid in a cornf1eId. with a country
blacksmith's outfit for implements. All
the plantations In the vicinity were
searched for metal that could be turn
ed into plate for the rams shield
The region where the keel was laid
afforded nothing but pine, and to Sc
cure timbers portable sawmills were
run about the country to pick out suit
able trees. The vessel was 152 feet
long and 45 wide at the extreme. Her
depth was nine feet and her draft
when ironed and armed about eight
feet. Her armor was two courses Of
iron seven inches wide ard two inches
thick laid on sixteen inches Of wooden
backing. The iron for the armor was
rolled at the Tredegar works in Rich
mond. but the crude material was diff
icult to get. and use was made of such
old pieces as could be picked up.
Fighting Begins at Plymouth.
When at last the ram was ready for
a trial it was planned by the Confeder-
ates to make a land attack at Plym-
outh, near the mouth of the Roanoke,
with the aid of the ram to silence the
Federal ships in the river-namely, the

Returning to the RAM. Captain Cooke
