93.-the loss of the Monitor.
Report of Commander Bankhead.
United States steamer Rhode Island, January 1, 1862.
sir: I have the honor to report to you that the Monitor left Hampton Roads in tow of the United States steamer Rhode Island, on the twenty-ninth of December, 1862, at half-past 2 P. M., wind light at south-west, weather clear and pleasant, and every prospect of its continuation.
Passed Cape Henry at six P. M. ; water smooth, and every thing looking well.
During the night the weather continued the same until five A. M., when we began to experience a swell from the southward, with a slight increase of the wind from the south-west, the sea breaking over the pilot-house forward and striking the base of the tower, but not with sufficient force to break over it. Found that the packing of oakum under and around the base of the tower had loosened somewhat from the working of the tower as the vessel pitched and rolled.
Speed at this time about five knots.
