The Daily Dispatch: July 14, 1864., [Electronic resource], The loss of the Alabama. (search)
ight from on board the Confederate ship — the damage to the Kearsarge — Why Captain Semmes fought the Kearsarge. The Yankee papers even as late as the 9th are still full of accounts of the fight between the Kearsarge (not Kearsarge, as it has been spelled) and the Alabama. More has been published about it than about any land battle since the opening of the war. The Yankees attempted to deny that the Kearsarge was chain plated over her boilers; but, unfortunately for that lie, Captain Winston himself, in a letter to the London News, admits the fact, and the further fact that the plating was concealed by plank, though this he says was done to keep out the dirt. A Cherbourg correspondent of the New York Herald, who has visited the hospitals and conversed with the Confederate and Federal wounded, sends that paper the following: Account of the fight from a Sailor on the Alabama. We came to Cherbourg from Cape Town to be paid off and for the purpose of making repairs. -
