Then we proceeded to erect good, two-room frame houses for quarters, and had occupied some of them, when, on the 17th day of March, with drums beating and colors flying, accompanied with all our impediments, we were marched along the turnpike, down to Drewry's Bluff, on the Noble James river, about seven miles below Richmond, and bivouacked at the future Gibraltar that night, grumbling about the hard fate that had overtaken us, at having been turned out of our nice new houses and forced to make our beds on the bare ground.

The student of these records will find that very extravagant claims were made for the Monitor, and later on that such claims were not founded upon fact.
