and cease firing. The Wyalusing was ordered
to attack the ram, but the reply came that
she was sinking, and she immediately backed
off.
The line was now broken as far as the Mat-
tahesett, the fourth and last of the large ves-
sels. She was moving in a circle, and, coming
up.to the ram, delivered a. broadside. She
then passed in ahead of the. ram and attempt—
ed to lay a seine and snare the propeller of
the ram, but it was torn and rendered use-
less. Then the Mattahesett rounded to and
delivered all her fire on the Confederate at
close quarters, receiving, however, a damag-
ing return shot.
The battle was principally an artillery
duel between smoe fifty guns on the Union
vessels and one on the ram. The effect On
the latter (much of the fire being delivered
at ship‘s length) soon disabled her smokestack
and destroyed her draught. Finally, by burn-
ing large quantities of bacon and lard, her
engines got power enough to move her from
the battle ground.
The engagement lasted about three hours,
ending at dark. The l'Llill bad 11-} holes in

THE RAM AT BAY.
After the engagement of May 5 the Albe-
marlo re ired slowly up the Poanokc, the
Union vessels firing the parting shots. On
the 21th of the month she appeared again at
the month of the river and began dragging
for torpedoes, but a few shots from the gun-
boats on guard there sent her back to her
grounds at Plymouth, where she remained to
protect the town which she had won to the
Confederates in her first engagement. The
result of the battle of May 5 was a severe
disappoint ment to all of the Union naval au-
thorities, and measures for her destruction
were again discussed.
On the 25t a party of five volunteers from
the lVyalusing reached the river above
Plymouth with two torpedoes, which they
attempted to float down stream and explode
under the ram. The torpedoes contained 100
pounds of powder each and were carried
through the swamps bordering the river on
stretchers. then the party reached the
Plymouth shore, above the rains anchorage
ground, the torpedoes were placed in the cur-
rent and guided by a bridle. The men en~
gaged in the hazardous work were Charles
Baldwin, John TV. Loyd, Benjamin Loyd,
John Lavcrt; and Allen Crawford. Bald-
win was nearest to the ram, and when he had
guided the floating to ‘pedoes to within a few
yards of the vessel ho was challenged by a
sentry on shore near him. TWO shots were
fired, then a volley and, believing that they
were discovered, one man out the cuide rope
and with two others abandoned the task.
These three men reached their ship in the
sound two days later and Crawford and
Baldwin returned on t‘ c tltltli. after an ab-
sence of four days. '
For five months after this attempt the ram
lay 011’“ Plymouth, where she was found at
the wharf on the 27th of October by Lieut.

in the annals of war. An account of the ex-

The first plan was .
to steal upon the '

be second, to destroy her with spar torpe-
toes attached to small, swift boats. These
clans did not appear to please the navy dc—
oartment at lVashington, but Cushing was
.0 heartily indorsed by his immediate
.uperiors that he was provided with
loans to go ahead. The work that be pro-
osed to do had received but little attention
rom the Union authorities, although the
onfederates, having a long seaeoast to
, 1ard against a powerful navy, had become
xpert in the preparation of torpedoes of
very description. Cushingr found two
4 unches in New York harbor, which he fit-
ed out and provided with torpedoes and all
he rigging for placing and exploding them.
‘he boats, which were open launches with
cam propellers, were taken through canals

lore the situation was one of a

responsible commander of all on board, and
had reserved to himself the task of exploding

the terrible weapon. At the very moment
the exploding cord was pulled the big gun of
the Albemarle, the muzzle of which was not
more than ten feet from Cushing‘s head,
blazed out and sent a shot through the
launch. The swell of the water that was
lifted by the explosion of the torpedo swept a
wave over the bulwarks of the launch, and
the little craft was disabled and sinking. The
fire from the ram continued with small arms,
and the hail was given from her deck to the
brave crew in the launch to surrender.
Cashing spurned the summons and ordered
his men to save themselves. He then removed
his own coat and shoes and jumped into the
water, with others, and swam out- into the
stream, followed by scattering rifle balls
from the ram.
The situation on the Albemarle, meantime,
was one of absolute astonishment and terror.
The launch reached the ram about 3 o’clock
in the morning, when the officers and crew
were asleep. The watch espied the launch
and gave the alarm, the men rushing to quar-
ters for action in bare feet and in shirt
sleeves. Before anything could be done to
arrest her the adventurous boat was so close
on the rain that the guns of the latter could
not be depressed to rake her. When the tor-
pedo exploded and water began torush in
through the six foot aperture made in the
hull of the Albemarle, pumps were set to
work. But it was useless; she went down in
a few minutes, carrying everything but her
crew. She rested on the bottom, with her
iron plated shield and smokestack above
water.
The Albemarle at the time was commanded
by Capt. A. F. “’arley, Capt. Cooke being
disabled by sickness. Lieut. Mallitt, who had
been second in command during the Albe-
marle’s battles, was serving elsewhere. Capt.
ll’arley made no report of the occurrence,
but a letter supposed to be from him was
found inthe captured Plymouth mail soon
afterward, and also one from a sailor on the
Albemarle. These two letters are the only
contemporary documents giving an account
of the experience that night on the Albemarle,
and from them this portion of the narrative
is taken. The sailor’s letter reads: “A Yankee
torpedo boat steamed up the river Thursday
night, and about 3 o’clock Friday morning
she ran into the Albemarle, the torpedo burst-
ing, blowing a hole in her some six feet long,
sinking her immediately. T he crew lost
everything they had, bed clothing, every-
thing; some lost their hats, shoes, even some
came out in their shirt sleeves and drawers,
barefooted. We are in an awful condition.”
Capt. W'arley wrote a statement in The
Century series, from which it appears that
his crew all told was sixty men, of which
number ten were absent on an expedition.
He says also that one of Cushing’s men or;-
claimed after the explosion of the torpedo,
referring to the massive casematedroof ot'
the ram, “There the old thing is yet.” She
looked sound on top, but the carpenter had
reported, on examination, “a hole in her
bottom big enough to drive a wagon in.”
CUSHING’S FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Not the least remarkable feature of this
expedition was ,the escape of Cushing after
firing the destructive charge and finding his
. boat disabled. He stated that after the ex-
plosion the enemy covered his party with
rifles at fifteen feet and twice demanded sur-
render. He himself refused, for it was a
principle with him never to surrender, and
he had destroyed his first boat, the Ellis, in
1862, rather than surrender, when he was
hopelessly surrounded.
After springing from his launch into the
river Cushing swam down stream until he
was exhausted, and at daylight crawled into
aswamp. Daylight disclosed the fact that
he was close to a Confederate fort, and so
near the principal path from the town to the
fort that he overheard two officers of the
Albemarle who passed that way discussing
the extent of damage done to the ram. This
was his first positive information that his
work had been successful. On exploring the
swamp he found that he could pass the time
unobserved, and finding a. willing negro he'
sent him into Plymouth to get further news
of the condition of the ram. Here, again,
the report was that the vessel was hopelessly
disabled. Cushing’s account, in his Century
narrative, of his experience in the water and
the swamp is equal to anything in Defoe.
He says:
Alone upon the water, I directed my course.

much headway, as my strokes were now very
feeble, my clothes being soaked and heavy, and
little chop seas splashing with a choking persist-
ence into my mouth every time that I gasped for
breath. Still there was a determination not to
sink. a will not to give up; and I kept up a sort of
a mechanical motion long after my bodily force
was in fact expended. At last, and note. moment
too soon, I touched the soft mud. and in the ex-
citement of the first shock I half raised my body
and made one step forward, then fell, and re-
mained half in the maid and half in the water un-
til daylight, unable to crawl even on hands and
knees, nearly frozen, with brain in a whirl, but
with one thing strong in me—the fixed determina-
tion to escape. The prospect of drowning, star‘-
vat-ion, death in the swamps—all seemed lesser
evils than that of surrender.
As day dawnedl found myself in a point of ,
swamp that enters the suburbs of Plymouth. and
not forty rods from one of the forts. The sun
came out bright and warm, provingr a most. cheer-
ing visitant and giving me back a good portion of
the strength of which I had been deprived before.

Ince of one who could give
. This proved to me the ne-
gaining the swamp, which I did by
sin..ing1ny heels and elbows into the earth and
forcing my body, inch by inch, towards it. For
five hours then, with bare feet, head and hands, I
made my \a y where I venture to say none ever
did before, until I came at last to a clear place,
wh crc I might rest upon solid ground.
The cypress swamp was a network ct" thorns
and brirrs that cut into the flesh at every step like
knivts, and lrotpmntly, when the soft mire would
not bear my \vcight,1 was forced to throw my
body upon it at length and haul it down by the
arms. Hands and f out were raw when I reached
he clearing, and yet my difficulties were but
commenced. A. working party of soldiers was in
the opening engaged in sinking some schooners in
the river to o‘ ‘ net the channel. I passed twen
ty yards in their rear through a corn furrow. and
gained some woods below. Here I encountered a
negro, and after serving out to him twenty dollars
in greenbacks and some texts of Scripture (two
powerful arguments with an old darky), I had
confidence enough in his fidelity to send him into
town for news of the ram.
When he returned and there was no longer
doubt that she had gone down, I went on again
and plunged into- a swamp so thick that I had
only the sun for a guide, and I could not see ten
feet in advance. About 2 o‘clock in the afternoon
Iconic out from the dense mass of reeds upon the
bank of one of the deep, narrow streams that
abound there, and right opposite to the only road
in the vicinity. It seemed providential that I
should come just there, for thirty yards above or
below I never should have seen the road, and
might have struggled on until worn out and
starved—found a never to be discovered grave.
Asitwas, my fortune led me to where a picket
party of seven soldiers were posted, having a
little llat'bottomed, square skiff toggled to the
foot of a cypress tree, that squirmed like a snake
into the inky water. Watching them until they
went back afcw yards to eat, Ierept into the
stream and swam over, keeping the big tree be-
tween myself and them, and making for the
shift. Gaining the bank, I quietly cast loose the
boat and floated behind it thirty yards around the
first bend, whcreI got in and paddled awayas
only a man could where liberty was at stake.
Ilonr after hour I paddled, never ceasing for a
moment, first on one side, then on the other,
while sunshine passed into twilight and that was
swallowed up in thick darkness, only relieved by
the few faint star rays that penetrated the heavy
swamp curtain on either side. At last I reached
the mouth of the Roanoke, and found the open
sound before me.
My frail boat could not have lived a moment in I
the ordinary sea there, but it chanced to be very
calm, heaving only a. slight swell, which was,
however, sufficient to influence my boat, so that
I was forced to paddle all upon one side to keep
her on the intended course.
After steering by a star for perhaps two hours
for where I thought the fleet might be, I at length
discovered one of the vessels, and after a long
time got within hail. llly “Ship alloy!" was given
with the last of my strength. and I fell powerless,
with a splash, into the water in the bottom of my
boat. I had paddled every minute for ten succes-
sive hours, and for four my body had been
“asleep," with the exception of my arms and
brain. The picket vessel Valley City—for it was
she—on hearing the hail, at once slipped her
cable and got under way, at the same time lower-
ing boats and taking precautions against tor-
pedoes.
It was some time before they would pick me up,
being convinced that I was the rebel conductor of
an infernal machine and that Lieut. Cashing had
died the night before. At last I was on board, had
imbibed a little brandy and water, and was on my
way to the flagship, commanded by Commander
Macomb.
Of the crew of the launch only one other,
Houghton, escaped. Houghton passed thirty-
six hours in a swamp. Two of the crew,
Master’s Mate John W'oodman and Samuel
Higgins, were drowned from the launch and
their bodies recovered. The others were cap-
tured by the Confederates, who reported
eleven prisoners.
Cushing was born in W'isconsin. ’ In his 20th
year he was commissioned lieutenant, and in a.
raid in Mew River inlet, North Carolina, with
the steamer Ellis,he captured the town of J ack-
sonville and two schooners, and intercepted an
important Confederate mail. On retiring he
was stopped over night by a bar, and in the
morning was fired upon by shore batteries,
near which, in attempting to eludetheir fire,he
grounded his vessel. Placing everything but
one gun on board a rize schooner he sent it
down the river Wit all but six of hiscrew,
and with these he remained on the Ellis to
fight. In a short time the Confederates ran
cannon to the banks on all sides of his vessel
and disabled her. Cashing now spiked the
gun, fired the Ellis, and with his followers,§in
a small boat, pulled down the river ‘under a
gelling fire to his prize schooner and gained
the open sea. For this act Cushing received
promotion. For the destruction of the Albe-
marle he received the thanks of congress and
_ In many
other ways Cushing distinguished himself,
always onenterprises of during and under
his individual control, where his peculiar
qualities had scope. He continued in service
after the war and reached the rank, of com-
mander. He died in 1872 of brain fever.
The destruction of the Albemarle enabled
the fleet to enter the Roanoke and bombard
Plymouth, which fell Oct. 31.
