This was followed ia quick succession by a shot atthe Sachem and another atthe Clifton, neithor of which, however, took effeet. The cugagement now became goperal and very warm, ‘Whe Clifton and Afizona moving very slowly forwara and dack, while the brave little Sechem, under @ heavy Sre, kept pusbivg steadily forward, endeavoring to pass the battery and engage it in the rear, which wae sup- posed to be unprotected. This movement the enemy divined, and redoubled their fire at her, answered shot for shot by the thaee boats, the huge shells every instant » bursting in their midst, carrying destruction in their wake and knocking great holes in the parapet, which Appeared of sufficient] ‘size te admit the passage of a carriage and horses. The evemy acted with great bravery, however, and if their fire slackened ao instant after one of whose terrifle explosions, which seemed to shake the 'Y earth around them, it was instantly rédumed wie indbolBed rather than ai- minished determination, Gradually but sure'y the little Bachem was gaining ber desired position. A moment more and she would pass out of range, and the day would be won, All eyes were dent upon the noble jittle erait, when suddenly a shot was veen to strikg bér dmidshipe, crushing in hor sides sud tearing Their iron plating for we protection of sbarpebootersas.a pleco of paper, and causing her to careen and tremble from stem to stern. An instant more and she was enveloped in the scalding vapor of escaping gleam, ond Jay a belplees wreck, at the mercy of the enemy. ‘Ibe flag was lowered, and the enemy, ceasing their fire on her, now tarued their entire altention to ihe Clifton, probably aware of the fact that the draught of the Arizona would not permit her to advance near enough to Docime avery formidable antagonist. The disabiing of the Sechem at the instant when victory was withio her KrASp war the second of those unfortunate accidents re- ferred vo, and was, ol course, of #0 serious a character as to imperii the euecees of the entire affair, The Ciifton was now the only eflective haat engoged.
