teamers, turned at bay the Merrimac, grappled with that formidable monster, and drove her back into Norfolk, and kept her there until the evacuation of that place led the rebels to destroy their famous iron-clad rather than encounter and risk her capture by her puny antagonist. The lessons of that contest taught us the inadequacy of wooden vessels and our existing ordnance to meet armored ships. For inland operations the Monitor turret was immediately adopted, and the fifteen-inch gun of Rodman, being the only gun of greater weight than the eleven-inch yet tested, was ordered to be placed in the turret of the vessels that were constructing. The result of this policy is developed in the action through which you have just passed. In fifteen minutes, and with five shots, you overpowered and captured a formidable steamer, but slightly inferior to the Merrimac, a vessel that the preceding year had battled, with not very serious injury to herself, against four frigates, a razee, and fo

General Strong and staff, and then came the battalion of the Seventh Connecticut volunteers. General Gilmore told Colonel Rodman that the General had concluded that our battalion was the most reliable and could be trusted, and was selected for thling one and wounding two or three. The General's boat had got two discharges of grape. Just at this moment Lieutenant-Colonel Rodman said to the General: Let me land my command nd take that battery. The General hesitated at first, and then said: Go! Colonel Rodman stood up in the stern of his boat, and gave the command, as the boats were all in line and in good order: Seventh Connecticut! Man your oars and follow me. We had previously detailed fifty men as oarsmen, leaving us about oneh a bound, ad advanced to the second line. Our main forces moved to the first line — the foe retired, firing. Lieutenant-Colonel Rodman now sent word back for the General to land his whole force, as we could hold the line we occupied.
