' DM the Merrlmac IUiuAway From.tue
Monitor ! Storf of the Unique En-
garment? v
We can duaw our own conclus-
ion? after a statement of a few
facts as they have come down to
us. On the 8th of March, 1862,
the Merrimac (originally thfe Vir
ginia, according to the Account
given by an officer on the Fed
eral ship "Congress," unk the
Cumberk nd, helplessly beached
the "Minnesota" arid drove the
"Congress" to surrender all in
Hampton Roads.
In ramming the "Cumberland"
to the sinking point, the Merri
mac seriously injured her ram.
Night now approaching, the
' Merrimac, together with her ac
companying ships, '.'Beaufort,"
"Yorktown." "J.amestown" and
"Teaser,!' withdrew from -the
scene of the tmg6dy and pro
ceded jp the channel to Norfolk
to repair damages to ram and
the old rickety em ine.s.
The next day, Ssunda, (Jlh of
March, as the sim was rising, in
going down the channel to en
gage the Federal ships airain,
the "Merrimac" encountered the
"Monitor," and after sparring
for advantages, the "Merrimac"
aimed to sink -the Monitor by
ra aiming. "With full steam on she
struck her with tremendous
force, so terrible, indeed, that it
was feared the Monitor would
sink. The Merrimac drew away.'
Then came the rattle of shot
. and shell! The Merrimac ran
aground. Things looked serious
but after lighting until after,
noon, a shot from one of the in
jured guns of the Merrimac,
which did much' damage to 'the
. Monitor, the contest for the day
ended, "sending each contestant
to her moorings without actual
victory for either side." The
Merrimaa, putting herself in po;
sition' again, waited "for the ap
proach of the Monitor, but she
did not return to the battle- and
the Merrimac withdrew to Nor
. folk. . .
.On April 11th, having-repaired
damfages, the Merrimac steamed
down inta Hampton Roads to
' find the Monitor, but she was
1 not there she had gone to
Gortress Monrde. A day or two
after the Merrimac went out
again and challenged the Moni
tor to battle. It was not ac-
cepted. Day after day the chal-
lenge was given ut the Federal
Monitor refused. And so thkgs
went on until the 3th of May,
wlfen the Merrimac game down
the bay and "fotrad the Union
$eet, together with heMohitor,
shelling the Confederate Matter-
ies at Sewall's Point. As the
