The sentries delivered their fire, and, simultaneously, the ship received a severe shock from the explosion of a torpedo, which threw a large column of water into the air, whence it descended upon the spar-deck and into the engine-room. Acting-Ensign Howard was mortally wounded by a shot from the torpedo-boat, dying five days later. The proximity of the David and the limited target presented by its only visible part — a hatch ten feet by two-precluded the use of great guns upon it; but a brisk musket fire was kept upon it by the marines until it drifted out of sight.

He fell dead instantly. And thus hundreds of Christian men gladly yielded up their lives, cheered a
