hought it germane to detail anything in relation to the other three gunboats of the Confederate fleet, which being wooden vessels, were sunk or captured early in the first action. It may be interesting, which is omitted above, to state the cause of the wound received by Admiral Buchanan. It was by a fragment of iron, either a piece of solid shot, or part of the plating of the ram which fractured the large bone of the leg, comminuting it, and the splintered ends protruding through the muscles and the skin. The admiral's aids were Lieutenants Carter and Forrest. They tenderly nursed him during the entire four months of his confinement in the hospital at Pensacola, accompanied him to Fort Warren, cared for him while there, and brought him back to Richmond after his exchange. The former is now a prominent citizen of North Carolina; the latter until ten years ago lived in Virginia, since which time I have lost sight of him.

The Confederate torpedoes planted at the entrance to Mobile bay were the first, and were very primitive in their construction—merely a lager beer keg filled wderal fleet without exploding. During the four months that we were guarding the entrance to Mobile bay we were not by any means safe from the danger of our own contrivances. One hot July morning w

hospital, where we were treated by old navy friends in the warmest and kindest manner. Medical Director Turner was in charge, and we remained there until December, when Admiral Buchanan being able to hobble around on crutches, was conveyed to Fort Warren with his aide, and I was sent back to Mobile in Captain Jouett's ship, under flag of truce.

Capture of the C. S. Ram Tennessee in Mobile bay, August, 1864. [from the Winchester times, November 26, 1890.] by Dr. Daniel B. Conrad, fleet surgeon, C. S. Navy. Kansas city, Mo., November, 1890. We had been lying idly in Mobile bay for many months, on board the iron-clad ram Tennessee, whose fighting deck differed materially from that of the Federal monitors. It resembled the inside of the hip-roof of a house, rather than the cheese-box of Ericsson's Monitor. On the 1st of August, 1864, we saw a decided increase in the Federal fleet, which was then listlessly at anchor outside of Fort Morgan, in the Gulf of Mexico, consisting of eight or ten wooden frigates, all stripped to a girt line and clean for action; their topmasts sent down on deck and devoid of everything that seemed like extra rigging. They appeared like prize fighters ready for the ring. Then we knew that trouble was ahead, and wondered to ourselves why they did not enter the bay any day. On the 3d of

Our flag, smoke-stained and torn, was seized by the other man, and hastily concealed in his shirt bosom. He was brought before Captain LeRoy, and amidst the laughter and jeers of his companions, was compelled to draw it forth from its hiding place, and it was sent on board the flag-ship. These two heroes were said to be the correspondents of some New York and Chicago newspapers. Captain LeRoy, who was an old friend, immediately had private supplies brought, and did everything in his power to aid his former shipmate, the wounded admiral. He brought a kind message from Admiral Farragut, in which the latter expressed regret to hear of Admiral Buchanan's wound, and offered to do anything in his power, and wishing to know what he desired. This was accepted by Admiral Buchanan in the same kind spirit in which it was given, and, as one of his staff office

I expected that the monitors would then and there surround me, and pound the shield in; but when all the Federal vessels had passed up and anchored four miles away, then I saw that long seige was intended by the army and navy, which with its numerous transports at anchor under Pelican island, were debarking nearly 10,000 infantry. I determined then, having the example before me of the blowing up of the Merrimac in the James river by our own officers, without a fight, and by being caught in such a trap, I determined, by an unexpected dash into the fleet, to attack and do it all the damage in my power; to expend all my ammunition and what little coal I had on board, only six hours steaming, and then, having done all I could with what resources I had, to retire under the guns of the fort, and being without motive power, there to lay and assist in repulsing the attacks and assaults on the fort.
