saluted and ran up through the

moments about tbo harbor. I wish to
get a clearer Idea of itlie situation myself,
sir. In ease anything happens to
, the pilot or you, which God forbid, I
might have to carry the Hartford In
myself, you know."
For some tline- the two officers pored
over the chart In the dim light, and |
after the admiral hnd thoroughly mastered
all Its details?Indeed, much previous
study hnd made him thoroughly
familiar with It? ronton returncd^to
his duties on dtfrk, whither the admiral
presently followed lilm.
The morale of the flagship and of the
fleet In general was simply superb.
tCIie" men laughed and joked with each
Other as they went about their np-.
' pointed duties. They were completely
oblivious to any danger to themselves
** or'their ships In the approaching battle.
And a doubt of their success never
entered their minds. The admiral had
i carried them through many a scrape,
and he would get them through this
pne somehow. The old Hartford and
Pier men had been in too many battles
to fall now. They would get battered
. -tip a bit, doubtless, but they would win
out In the end, never fear. The gun
,wus not mounted, the ship did not float,
that could sink that Hartford with
Farragut aboard.
. '' Shortly before three l>olls in the
morning watch, or half after 5, the
admiral, accompanied by Drayton and
rainier, went below to his cabin for a
light breakfast. As the three men

i "Now, admiral," said Drayton, remonstrating
affectionately, "you know
7 1 iWe settled all that last night, and you
gave way, to our unnnimous Judgment.
( The Brooklyn has four chase guns and
, nil apparatus for picking up tori)edoes.
I feel Bure we are right, and* I beg of
you uot to think of changing the order

! ."Oh, very well," Bald the admiral,
unconvinced. "I don't doubt that 1

quietly, going on deck, whither

The couples of ships were about
a cable's length opart at the start.
The fleet moved slowly, for the admiral's
orders had been for low steam
and slow speed, and started for the
bar off the main ship channel. At the
same time the smaller gunbonts headed
up to the northeast with the intention
of engaging the fort from its
south side, so that, If possible* they I
could keep down Its fire upon the
