For j four long hours from 8 to 12, the cannonading continued with hardly j a moment's intermission. During I I the evolutions in which the Monitor t had the advantage of light draughts, ai the Merrimac ran aground. After U | + much delay and difficulty she was a, floated off again. Finding, however, j I that her shot made no impression whatever on the Monitor, the Merri. I mac seizing a favorable chance succeeded in striking her foe with her t stern. After a while they ceased firing and separated as if by common j consent. The Monitor then steamed _ away to Old Point. Capt. Van Brunt, commander of the Minnesota, stated y in his official report that when he s saw the Monitor disappear he gave 1 up all hope cf saving his ship. But J fortunately for him the Merrimac j steamed slowly toward Norfolk evi. dently disabled in her motive power. I The Monitor returned late in the af. ternoon accompanied with several ~ tugs, succeeded in floating of the I i j Minnesota and conveying her to Old II Point. j Thus ended the struggle which .j changed the navies of the world. Up r' to this time the naval energies of the' r world powers were expended in the e construction of wooden vessels. The a effects of this battle were so speed_j ily show the naval experts of the day that no nation could hope to cope t successfully w it'll another nation s with iron-clad vessels unless it had s them also. The governments of the . world were quick to see the advann tage of a country with iron-clads andi the danger of a country without e them. Whereupon the whole world - set to making iron-clad vessels. r The hated blockade was tightene ing its terrible grip around the seaports of the struggling South. The c cost of necessities were mounting upt, ward with leaps and bounds. The e people of the South saw that unless -?
