[Our impression is that this list is incomplete; that Dr. Bennett Wood Green served on the Virginia as assistant surgeon, and the late Virginius Newton of Richmond, as midshipman.—editor.

f any of our officers a true account of this launching. Strange as this may seem, it is a fact that there was only one officer of the Virginia's crew who was present at the time the vessel was launched and he was Captain Reuben Thom. All of the other officers and men of the crew were aboard a school ship then lying of the navyyard, and they did not come on board until the ship was commissioned. I was surprised at the erroneous naming by Governor Montague at the banquet held at Hotel Chamberlain on April 18, 1903, in honor of the sponsor of the cruiser West Virginia, He referred to the fight between the Merrimac and the Monitor. Before I go into detail in regard to the two days engagement, I want to speak of a rousing speech made by our commander, Franklin Buchanan, to his officers and men just before the fight began. In his closing remarks he said: The eyes of the whole world are upon you this day, and in the good old name of Virginia let every man do his duty. That duty

cers and men—a cowardly act in warfare. Determined to destroy her. It was then that Captain Buchanan determined that the Congress should be destroyed. Lieutenant Minor volunteered to burn the vessel, and he started for her with a small boat's crew. When the boat was within seventy-five yards of the Congress the crew opened fire, wounding Lieutenant Minor and several of his men. After this act of treachery the lieutenant and his men returned to the Virginia. Then we did pour hot shot and shell into the Congress. She took fire and about midnight her magazine blew up. The report was heard sixty miles away and the fire could be seen for miles. Dlk to engage the Federal fleet, her officers were: Flag officer, Franklin Buchanan; executive, Lieutenant Catesby A. R.

ble engagements of March 8 and 9, 1862. Story of her launching and Accomplishments. By Wm. R. Cline, One of Her Crew. Newport News, Va., April 1, 1904. The great celebration which Virginians are arranging for Tuesday next, 5th, the day set for the launching of the magnificent first-class battleship Virginia at the local shipyard, is largely due to the fact that they look upon the new fighter as the namesake of the formidable Confederate ironclad Virginia (Merrimac), which, with Ericsson's Monitor taught the world how warfare on the sea should be carried on. The new Virginia's launching announcement caused the people of this section particularly to remember this week that the first fight between iron-clads took place just forty-two years ago. William R. Cline, an employee of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, was a member of the crew of the old Virginia, and seen at one of his haunts on the anniversary of the battle, he made the following interesting s
