distant. 1t was at nine this
morning the enemies fleet met
ours in this Bay, within fifty rods
from the fort of the 3lst regiment,
and IL was at that instant the enemy
attacked us by land at two different
points Bombs, sky-rockets, chain
shot, grape, canister, hot and cold
balls, were dealt from every quarter,
which carried death wherever they
went, while every soul appeared TO be
wrapt in one solid column OF smoke
and blaze which continued two hours
and one half and at the expiration of
that time we could sing G l. . II Y!
G l. o " G l. o II Y! 10 American
arms. While the enemy attempted TO
once more cross the river be-
low the bridge, we with the usual
spirit OF Americans met them and they
met death. The river was once more
filled with dead bodies here, while
the gallant volunteers and militia sent
equal destruction among those who
attempted to cross higher up the river
in our rear. They were at both points
obliged to retreat through street
where more than 500 buildings of all
descriptions were at that moment in
the height Of flame.
We did not pursue far as you may
well suppose. We suffered some as
we'll as the enemy everything. Our
wearied limbs would scarcely support
us, while the true spunk of Americans
drove us like lightning through the
ranks OF the enemy, who like bull dogs
would charge and charge again. while
we moved them like grass before us
Would the militia have stood charge,
the whole army must have been ours,
which was stated to be thirteen thou
sand strong. You will begin to en-
quire how came on the fleets by this
time.
The enemies largest ship advanced
with their growler low behind who sent
more than five hundred shots before
they dropped anchor. which was with
in ten or fifteen rods Of our largest
who never moved until the action was
past The commodore and 106 men
were sent to the other world, in an in
slant on board the enemy, while the
GROWER dropped between the two
fires, and but three men remained on
board when they struck, and there
were only three row galleys Of the
whole remained to carry the news. In
a word we have met the enemy and
they are ours
Death was dealt plentifully on both

steamship Missouri. While on this
cruise he visited the ports OF Naples,
Gibraltar, Graves End, London and
Hampton Roads on other cruises he
visited the ports Of Copenhagen, Den
mark; Stockholm, Sweden; Kiel, Ger
many; Rome, Italy and other ports
These ports were reached on board
the Kansas.
Mr.. Trimble shipped from Grand
Rapids over four years ago. While
on his first cruise along the coast he
became dissatisfied with the work on
the deck OF the vessel. There was a
shortage of help in the bake shop and
he asked permission to go into the
bake shop TO work. After few
weeks on board the cruiser he was
transferred TO Northport. r. L., where
he spent five months in the baking
school.
One Of the most interesting ports
that Mr.. Trimble visited was Gibral-
tar. He said ii was a very common
thing for experienced sailors even to
expect to see the Rock of Gibraltar
with the large sign OF the Prudential
Life Insurance company cut on it's
surface. Many OF them, when told
that a certain point was Gibraltar
would ask where the name was
carved.
The ship tied up and the crew went
ashore to see the world famed fort
AS they neared the landing the whole
rock for almost two miles had the APP
pearance of a porcupine. Thousands
of guns were sticking out OF the sides
of the fort TO give it this appearance.
When the party landed they found
that the fort was equipped with all of
the new guns that had been invented
to date. One Of the requirements of
the English government is that one
gun Of every design must be placed
in the fort. The rock held enough
ammunition to withstand a continuous
siege OF at least ten years. Another
interesting feature OF the rock is the
seventy-five miles Of tunneling that
have been cut through the solid stone
to allow speedy passage of the SOL
diers in time Of siege The visitors
were not allowed to go into these pas
sages but were given the liberty of
the exterior part of the hill up to
limited height. Beyond this no one is
allowed to go except the English SOL
diers. A squad OF them are kept on
the brow Of the hill all the time TO
keep a lookout for chance enemies

all of the tunnels and passages. After

sages he is transferred to some other
fertilization.
As the visitors neared the brow of
the rock, where they were forbidden
TO go, they saw large drove of mon
Keys on the top. These monkeys are
kept on the fort all OF the time, and
gained their perpetual right OF habita-
ton in the following manner accord
ing to legend. Years ago a drove of
monkeys happened to be on the rock
Some queer antics on the part Of the
monkeys attracted the attention Of the
garrison. II was found that a slight
sound almost imperceptible to the hu-
man ear had stirred up the monkeys.
The sound had been caused by Span
ish troops tunneling in below with the
idea OF surprising the fort The plan
OF the Spanish was thwarted and since
that time a drove of monkeys has
been kept on the hill all Of the time.
While Trimble and his party were
in Naples they were given the priv
ilege OF going TO Rome. A party Of
them hired conveyances and made the
trip TO that city. where they saw many
beautiful and interesting sights. They
stayed at the Hotel Continental where
the prevailing rate was $40 per week.
AS they were American sailors they
were given a better rate while they
remained in the city
One OF the buildings visited was the
coliseum. They also visited the cata-
combs and the wonders Of st. Peters
Cathedral were much appreciated by
the party also.
Probe bly, the one thing of most IN
terest to the American sailors was a
visit with Pope Plus Y. The chap
lain OF the Missouri, on which the
party was sailing, was a Catholic.
Through his influence an audience
was arranged for the party. The pope
met them in one OF the large rooms
and gave them very cordial welcome.
He talked in low tones because he was
constantly growing weaker and his
strength would not permit vigorous
speech. He assured his audience OF
his kindly feeling toward American
sailors and earnestly invited them TO
pay him a visit, should they ever come
to the city again.
At the conclusion Of the cruise Mr..
Trimble spent some time in Maine and

down, and made a firm stand, the
enemy attempted to cross just below,
which was near the Lake, when our
Row Galleys gave them a grist of
grape and canister which caused the
river to be damned with dead bodies.
They thinking this a little too warm.
retreated TO the houses when our 24's
from the forts, treated them with hot
shot I'm abundance, which consumed
many buildings and killed many OF
the enemy. The enemy then moved up
the river a small distance, where they
took a stand. Our troops then were
called together on the opposite side,
where we talked the true spunk and
language OF the yankees to the loss Of
the enemy to considerable amount,
and in the mean time we had the as
sistance of our 24's from each fort,
which put death and destruction in
the enemies ranks. This and other
skirmishes were kept up all night and
on Wednesday the enemy attempted
to cross the river higher up where
they met with death from every quart
er. They burned the court house and
other buildings and fought us all day
and part of the night.
