If one of Lincoln's ships waits for her, and depends upon her guns to drive her off, she will sink the ship by dr during which time two war steamers, two frigates, and several smaller vessels belonging to Old Abe Lincoln's fleet, were in sight, but at a respectful distance, they not daring to interfere with thethem from their vengeance and fury."

She will also refuse to fight her now, when called on by the Union (7) Legcable discourse, each side endeavoring to outdo the other in courtesy.
