The Daily Dispatch: June 1, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 5 (search)
. The four pumps discharged one hundred and sixty barrels of water each minute, or forty barrels each. At six o'clock yesterday afternoon I went on board the raised steamer. She was along side the wharf at the Navy Yard. They had then, as Baker told me, discharged 12½ feet water. There were about 6 feet in the hold. She was up nine or ten feet out from the surface of the water. Her water-pipes had been cut, and the magazine cock was found turned so as to let in the stream. This, BakBaker turned so as to shut off the influx. The damage to the engine is not of a serious character. Under the superintendence and management of Chief Engineer Michael Quinn, this splendid machinery will be rendered as fit for service as before the myrmidons of Black Republicanism exemplified the mode of their chief in "protecting the public property;" a mode, rough, desperate and barbaric — more in keeping with that of their thessat prototypes than with the warfare of Christian and civilized men.
