Commander Flusser. senior officer pres

ceive the ram by lashing together his
two heaviest vessels. the Southfield and
the Miami, both sidewheeI steamers of
about 80 tons. The Southfeld carried
crew of sixty-One men and had seven
guns. The Miami carried 1874 men and
eight guns. Both ships being Of wood,
their prospect of success in an engage

running her down.

At that instant Commander Flusser
