with his regiment, and the assia-y
tance of one company of infantry
-vone of cavalry and a battery of;
artilery, surprised the garrison a.t
-day-break, capturing a jmrnber of A
prisoners and more scores and
munitions of v&r than they could
get away with. Jhis fight occur
red in the streets of the town,
"the defenders using the dwellings';
and customs house as spreejij
from the hail of bullets poured
upon them by their fearless as
.sailants. The gimbpajs in the
river opened fire on the town at
short range, setting fire to the
buildings, and when the conflict
had terminate scarcely a dozen
were left standing within the
corporate limits. And for a long
period after this every few years!
Plymouth suffered a disasterousl
jire. tOl. Lamb and ins J;tt!e
.army not being able to drjye Qjfjj
the gunboats in the river, W)th
v drew from the town, and the
federal authorities immediately
.undertook its fortification. They
nade fruitful use of their jtime
for a year or more, building forts
greeting breastvyorfcs and cutting
jaway the forest growth near the
fown.
. On the afternoon of i;nday,
April 17, 1864, Gen. R. F. Hoke
attacked the towij, th battle fee
jng terific and desperate for three
days. It was during tjjj.s engage
ment that the iron-clad Albemarle
appeared, upon the scene, driving
pff or sinking the ships of the
enemy after heroic fighting,
When this battle was pysr there
was little remaining of tJ?e town
except sniojderjng ruins, several
wrecked forts and the hastily
constructed graves of several
hundred ,dead, general Matt W,
Jlansom was with General Hoke
at the capture of Plymouth, A
relic of these days is the house of
Mr. W. Fletcher Ausbon, in, the
pide of which I countdd 41 bullet
holes. The scars made by shells
from the gunboats are still ob-
servable on the chimney and door
riding of this residence, A Con
federate sharpshooter was morr
tally wounded on the second floor
pf this building. This interesting
house is at the corner of Wash
ington ane Thi'd streets. For a
time the Yankees used the M, E,
church aj a stable, and they
stripped the weatherbqarding
froni the Epjasopal church to use
as fuel.
On May 5, m, Captain J, W,
Cook, commanding the Albemarle
eft Plymouth, and followed by
two- small tenders steamed out
jntQ the Albemarle Sound, where
it found seven heavily armed
Federal gunboats. These imme
diately 'upon sighting the Albe
marle ran sixteen miles ttown the
sound,; fcujt finally gave battle,
for manyi Jurg their fifty-five
guns hammering the mailed sides
of their pursuer, Over a hun
dred holes were shot through the
pmokestack of the Albemarle.
