KRARSAGE AND ATABAMA, A £t. Louisan Who Was in the Famous Sea Fight, How He and Others Feltand Under what Ciroumstances tho Cruiser Went Down. In an unpretentious but neatly kot house in North 8t. Louis, lives Wm. C Alsdorf who enjoys the honor of be ing ono of the crew of the immortal Kearsage, which sunk the rebel eruis er, the Alabama. 30 fas The Chionicle is awareno geaman’s account of this furious tight has ever been published, and learn ing that Mr. A. was not unwilling to fight that fine fight over againa Chron- icle ropor.er called upon him. The veteran was found seated at his desk in a plainly furaighodroom —ap ,parently the sitting room of a family in plain, but comfortable circums stances, The only picture on the wall was a TESTIMONIAL, to which he frequently glanced with pride, and which proved, on closo i spection, to be the vote of thanks ad- dressed to him by name, for his servi- ces in aiding to destroy the Alabama, and a certificate that that body also givén him 825 asa substa token of their appreciation. M A. is about 45 years old, of medium height and rather slender built., and of a sandy complexion. e isn Bohomian, and employs very broken English. HIS STORY. «Yos; T was one of the crew of the Kearsago.” began the old tar. T joined it at Cadiz, Spain, two years before the meeting with the Alabama. We were most of that time after the Florida, the confederate ram, which was destroying merchantmen belong ing to this government. We were of course also on the look-out for the Alabama. “Finally we got the Florida block- aded at Brest; she was in the harbor and could not got ont until high water 80 wo left her and went to Cadiz for coal and provisions, the French gov- ornment having refusetl to supply us. The night we arrived therea dis- patch came from Cherbourg, France. notifying the commander, Capt. Wins- low, of the arrival of the Alabama, The captain was in bed when the dis- patch arrived, it being 2a. m. Heim- mediately appeared on deck and must- ered the men, The dispatch waa read to all on board, and the captain in a speech to them said nes, tho captain of the Alabama, and he had been lieutenants together, and that Semmes was anable officer and a biave man “Wo had long felt that the fight with the Alabama was incvitable and the news did not surprise us; and al- though we knew we should have a hard tussel we did not shrink from it; in fact we were anxious for it—not the least on account of our captain, whom we loved, and who gave us to understand we must not be whipped by Capt. Semmes, his former com- rade. “Beforo daylight we were under way for Dover, England, where we went for suppliee. We stopped long enough to get provisions, and then left under full steam for Cherbourg whero we found the Alabama inthe harbor with tull flags flying. and pre- senting a very saucy appearance, We BACKED OUT OF THI HARBOR and lay three miles off the coast. The same day a French man of war, the Couronne, came out of the harbor and notified us that under the French laws wo wonld be compelled {o stay three miles from land. We banked fives for eight days waiting for tho Alabama to come out. About the fourth day Semmes sent a dispatch to our captain that if we would wait till he was ready the Alabama would cn- age with us. At last the day came! n Sunday about 9 c'clock the man on the fore top sang out: “Ship ahoy!” “‘Where away?" “‘Out ofhar bor!” “‘We saw a Brazilian vessel leaving the harbor followed by the Couronne and Alabama. As soon as tho Ala- bama was seen we manned our guns without waiting for orders. The men became somowhat nervous but not excited. Before the quarter-beat the boys were ready for action. ~As toon as the Alabama came within a shots distance wo took to our heels and she followed us. Our purpose was to get her a good distance out. We gotnine miles out whon our captain ordered the ship star-board and we turned facing our enemy. She opened fire. “Keep low!" cried the captain, as the first shots from the rebels were racking our vessel. We wanted to 1tid be hung. CAND WHAT THEN!" treated as if they had been our own crow. They were nearly all foreign- ers. Weo gave them shirts and other articles of clothing they needed, and after all was over for the first time during my connection with the Kear lands in which we grand reception was tendered us.” “What about that flag of the Ala Lama said 1ow to beon exhibition in o1 don't belleve it is the same flag The Alabama's flag went down with her T think. When it was taken down one of the crew took it and folded the stars and bars and held it up exposing the white portion to us. As they had no white flag, this was done. The men we saved wero in nearly every instance devoid of their clothing, so that no one could have, or would at- tempt to save the flag, as it would be at the rigk of their lif wont to Boston, where a A Colonel Outrank. Detrolt Free Pecss, A man doing business on Wood- Lridge street west took a colored man into his employ a couple of weeks ago, and during he conversatian previous to scttling terms he remarked: “When you wish to address me you can call me Colonel.” “Was you a Kernel in do wah?" “No you can call me Colo- nol, and 1 will give you as extra quar- ror per week for so domg.” “Dat's all right, Kernel = T'11 atrn Aat quarter suah's yor bo'n.”’ At the end of the weck the laborer hung around after he was paid off and asked if there was any trouble. He seratched his head, hesitated and fin- ally said he weuld explain himsel® Monday morning. When Monday cane the employer remarko “Now, then, Samuel, w matter?” «Nuffin’tall, boss—trouble all one.” “Well, what was it?"” “Wall, you see, do driver of a conl cart down yere diskiverod dat T was callin’ you Kernel for two shillins a weok, What does he do but offer me fifty cents a week to take tho kernel off of you an’ putit on to him.” “And you wanted to do it?”’ “Wall, T kinder folt dat way, kase T'z0 workin' fur low wages, but I saw Sunday and fixed all right.” “I'zo pwine to keop right on call- in’ you Kernel for two shillin’sa woek, an’ T'ze gwine to call him General for seventy-five cents a month!

At last we got in range sud our guns went into action, Our firat shot took a flag off the Alabama, and every _ round from our guns had tellingeffect, while the enemy’s guns were managed very badly. SPECTATORS TO THE FIGHT, The French people were in sympa- thy with the confederacy, some were wery anxious to see the Alabama win, A number came from Paris to Cher- boury to witness the fight, and the uplands above Cherbourg were filled with people. Tho Alabama had boen in the harbor some time and her offi- cers and men had made the acquaint- - ance of a number of citizens who ¢ sequently felt almost a personal i terest in the engagement, and they promised to illuminate the vity inhon- or of the victory of the Alabama—for they did not allow a doubt that she would win. The firing lasted one and one-balf hours and from the start the Alabama had the worst of it. Finally her guns gradually, ceased firing, and ours stopped dlso; and then she began to sinlk, stern foremost. We immediate- ly noticed her condition and expected nothing more from her, butwere mis- taken, for she fired one more shot, which we answered and our shot dis- abled her still further, and she sank rapidly.”’ Mr. A. then described the well- known eflorts made to rescue the sur- vivors of the Alabama. “A number we tried toreecue swam away from us and were picked up by the Hritish yacht Deerhound, Kven several of the men we had gotten into our boat jumped out into the water mpr!etur. “T'o take away the smell of r from the breath,” uxc{nimml the ped- dler, ‘*‘Take away that smell ov beer!” exclaimed the man behind the counter.
