So the “duel” was more far-reaching in its effects than is many an époch-marking land battle. } In olden days, sea-fights were waged in wooden galleys, rowed by slaves and protected only by the shields that hung over the wooden guawales. ‘Next came floating wooden castles, more awkward than canal boata; their hulls gilded, their sails cumbersome and futile, These in tura @ place to the trim frigate, swift and slender, seemingly the last ord in naval warfare. Steam then tooki the place of sails; and—last of all—came the ironclad. Here is the tale of the tronclad’s birth: North and South were at each other's throats .in the decond year of ow civil war. The Confederates had seized the Norfolk (Va.) y Yard, and had turned one of ita captured ehing—the Merrimac—into ble fort. On her hull they placed a metal structure that looked like @ barn roof, and that no cannon ball or shell could Pierce. She was armed with guns, and had an irom beak for ramming. Her draught was 22 feet. Nowadays, the Merrimac would be a joke. Mod- r ern projectiles would riddle her crude armor-plate like 4 modern cruisers could make circles around her, But in that era all other ships re of flimsy wood. Among the blind, a one-eyed man is king, and among wooden ships the new iron monster was invincible, The United States Government learned through spies that the Con- federates were building the Merrimac. And the Government realized how easily auch a ship could ecatter the wooden fleet of tho Federal navy and, unscathed, bombard New York or even Washington.

The fleet gpened fire on her, but its heaviest shots rattled off her armor-plate as harmlessly as hailstones. She sank the United States warship Cumberland, set fire to the Congress, and made for the Minnesota, which had run aground, But th water was too shallow for her great draught, and she withdrew for the night. ‘When the Merrimac returned early next morning fo finish roying: the Union fleet the Monitor had just arrived in Hampton Roads and was awaiting her. Then began the strangest duel in all history. ‘The Merrimac bore down on her tiny foe, blazing away at close quarters, but the shot and shell that had eo easily ripped wooden ships to match wood either missed the bobbing little turret or bounded from its rounded ai without doing any damage. The Merrimac then tried to ram her foe, the terrible iron beak struck glancingly and without effect. ‘The Monitor was faster and easier to manoeuvre, and her draught was only ten and a half feet. So she played around the Merrimuc like a king bird around a crow. Dodging and firing, she buckled the Confederate ship's upper plates, crushed her heavy timbers, outpointing her at every turn. A foolfgh Government order forbade the use of more than fifteen pounds of powder to each gun charge. This prevented the Monitor from doing atill worse damage. Out of forty-seven shots (at six-minute intervals) she cored twenty hits, end in turn was struck twenty-two times. A bursting shell ‘at last wounded the Monitor’s commander, Lieut. Worden. His second in command let the Monitor drift away while Worden’s wounds were dressed, The Merri- mac then withdrew from the Roads. The duel was ended. Neither vessel was used again. The Monitor sank in a gale that same year off Cape Hatteras, and the Merrimac was destroyed to keep her from capture. But their work was accomplished. The world had seen what fronclads could do. In a single day naval warfare was revolutionized. JusT_ONE DARN THING AFTER ANOTHER. > Strangest Duel in All History.
