In the spring of 1863 I was pointed assistant paymaster in the U navy and was assigned to the ship Ottawa, then stationed at the mouth of the St. John’s river in Florida. I sailed from Philadelphia on the sup- ply steamer Massachusetts, in com- pany with other officers who were go- ing to different vessels in the South Atlantic squadron. Our first stop was off the harbor of Charleston, S. C. This was the head- quarters of the squadron and of the admiral in command, who, at that time was Admiral Dahlgren. In addi- tion to his flagship we found there a_dozen more vessels of various kinds and equipment. Among them were several iron-clads, called moni- tors, that were so low in the water [that the high sea where they were stationed almost covered. theim decks, leaving little to be seen abcve them cept the turre: which contained the areat guns that made them so. formid able. ~Below decks they wers quite roomy, but, especially in action, day light and air were at a discount.

At other times when our ship was in_ ac- tion, the firing on both sides was at long range.
