The Daily Dispatch: March 11, 1862., [Electronic resource], article 12 (search)
ho fired from the ship and shore when the white flag was flying at the main and mizzen of the Congress! Here, too, and in the same way, Flag-Officer Buchanan, and Flag-Lieut. R Minor were wounded. Now, the James River gunboats, whose dark smoke had been seen against the blue distance ever since 8 o'clock, came dashing along past the shore batteries. Tucker, the courtly and chivalrous, leading the van with the Jamestown, Lieut. Commanding Batney, close aboard, and the little Teaser, Lieut. Webb, in her wake — like a bowlegged bull-dog in chase of the long, lean, stag hounds. It was a gallant dash, and once past the batteries, the two heavy vessels took position in line of battle, while the Teaser dashed at the Minnesota, looking no larger than a cock-boat. And right well she maintained the honor of her flag and the appropriateness of her name.--Now the Roanoke puts her helm up and declines the battle. Now the Virginia is thundering away again. The Teaser is still closer in.
