e beach on our side as possible, when about half-way, after passing all the enemy's vessels, we were struck by a shot which carried away our rudder-post and one of the blades of our propeller-wheel. Being then unable to use our rudder, and heading directly for the enemy, we stopped and backed so as to get her head right, which we did, and with our large hawser out over our port quarter, we kept her going in the right direction, until the gun-boat Whitehall came to our assistance. We lay that night alongside the Minnesota, and in the morning were towed to Fort Monroe. I claim for the Zouave that she fired the first shot at the Merrimac, and that but for her assistance the Congress would have been captured; in evidence of which I refer to page 64 of Professor Soley's book, The blockade and the cruisers, also to the New York Herald of March 10th, 1862. I held the appointment of acting master's mate, and had been in the service from June, 1861.. Detroit, Mich., March 9th, 1884.
