t, glanced off as pebbles would fly from contact with solid granite, they receiving more harm than their intended victim. The annexed picture shows the effect produced upon a 100-pound solid iron bolt, now in the Naval Museum at Washington City, by its striking the turret. It was mashed like a piece of lead, while the turret was uninjured by it. The effect of such a blow, as we shall observe hereafter, was somewhat stunning to persons within the turret. You were very correct, wrote Engineer Stimers to Captain Ericsson, in your estimate of the effect of shot upon the man inside of the turret when it struck near him. Three men were knocked down, of whom I was one. The other two had to be carried below; but I was not disabled at all, and the others recovered before the battle was over. Mashed bolt. The Merrimack was wasting precious time in fighting an invulnerable and more agile antagonist; so she left the Monitor, and again made a furious assault on the grounded Minnesota

erhaps have made it necessary for them to go to the machine-shop. We do not consider the official report of Chief Engineer A. C. Stimers to the Navy Department as carrying any weight with it, particularly in view of the terrible mistakes made by tlight-draft Monitors which were consigned to the scrap-heap as worthless. In his communication to the Navy Department Mr. Stimers says: In consideration of the vast importance to our country that this stronghold of the rebellion should be reduced, tain sufficient enduring power to enable them to pass all the forts and batteries which may reasonably be expected. Mr. Stimers also expressed great confidence in the efficiency of the torpedo rafts designed by Mr. Ericsson, for the purpose of reng torpedoes and blowing up obstructions, which the historian of the Navy says naval officers were unwilling to use Mr. Stimers--or any other person in like circumstances — could express what opinion he pleased, as he had no responsibility in the

Stimers made the passage in the vessel, as the Government inspector, to report upon her machinery. The crew were volunteers, selected by Worden from the receiry. These two men fought the ship. Acting-Master Stodder was at first stationed at the wheel that started the revolving-gear, and when he was disabled, Chief-Engineer Stimers volunteered to take his place, and did the best that could be done in the exhausting work of turning the refractory turret.
