Mare Cantabricum (search for this): chapter 75
China seas, at the Cape, in the Channel again? What a wonderful vessel! The Flying Dutchman was a galliot compared with her! What a wonderful captain, to be always pursuing and never caught! And certainly the simple feat of keeping at sea in all weathers for two years without intermission, or breaking down, or repairs, may well strike with admiring wonder a public accustomed to read in their naval intelligence of powerful squadrons docking and repairing after six weeks cruise in the Bay of Biscay or the North sea. Let the captain of the Alabama have his due by all means. Without reference to Federals or confederates, let us, as Englishmen, do justice to smart and skilful seamanship wherever we find it. But let not the nation that once owned a Nelson sink to paying equal homage to a sunk Alabama and a surviving victor. To worship success is bad enough; to worship the remains of a runaway smuggler and a nimble-heeled buccaneer because he has come to a legitimate end, is something

Foreign accounts of the fight. Letter from Secretary of State, transmitting copy of despatch no. 302 of the United States Consul at Liverpool. Department of State, Washington, July 6, 1864. sir: I have the honor to transmit, herewith, a despatch, No. 302, of the United States Consul at Liverpool, announcing the destruction of the pirate Alabama by the United States steamship Kearsage, off Cherbourg, and inclosing several accounts of the action clipped from British journals. The department joins in the Consul's congratulations at an event which at once illustrates the gallantry and efficiency of the navy, and fitly closes the predatory career of its antagonist.

a Norwegian, says that when he was in the water he was hailed by a boat from the Kearsarge, Come here, old man, and we'll save you, to which he replied: Never mind me, I can keep a half an hour yet; look after some who are nearer drowning than I am. He then made away for the Deerhound, thanking God that he was under English colors. Throughout the action, the Deerhound kept about a mile to windward of the combatants, and was enabled to witness the whole of it. The Kearsarge was burning Newcastle coals, and the Alabama Welsh coals, the difference in the smoke (the north country coal yielding so much more) enabling the movements of each ship to be distinctly traced. Mr. Lancaster is clearly of opinion that it was the Kearsarge's eleven-inch shells which gave her the advantage, and that, after what he has witnessed on this occasion, wooden ships stand no chance whatever against shells. Both vessels fired well into each other's hull, and the yards and masts were not much damaged. T

Southampton, June 21, 1864. sir: I have the honor to inform you that, in accordance with my intention, as previously announced to you, I steamed out of the harbor of Cherbourg between nine and ten o'clock on the morning of the nineteenth of June, for the purpose of engaging the enemy's steamer Kearsarge, which had been lying off and on the port for several days previously. After clearing the harbor we descried the enemy, with his head off-shore, at a distance of about seven miles. We were three quarters of an hour in coming up with him. I had previously pivoted my guns to starboard, and made all my preparations for engaging the enemy on that side. When within about a mile and a quarter of the enemy he suddenly wheeled, and bringing his head in shore, presented his starboard battery to m
