te confidence of the Navy Department. He had not only its confidence, but also to an extraordinary degree that of the commanding officers under him. Few commanders-in-chief have had the good fortune to inspire the same admiration, affection, and trust that the officers who came in contact with Admiral Du Pont felt for him. The Montauk, Captain John L. Worden, was the first monitor to arrive, and as months would pass before all the others could be expected, Admiral Du Pont, on the 1st of February, 1863, sent that officer in the Montauk, supported by the gun-boats Wissahickon, Lieutenant-Commander John Lee Davis; the Seneca, Lieutenant-Commander William Gibson; and the Dawn, Lieutenant-Commander John S. Barnes, to try her powers against the earth-works of Fort McAllister, on the Ogeechee River, behind which the Confederate steamer Nashville was waiting for an opportunity to sail, on a cruise of pillage and destruction, against our ships of commerce upon the high seas.

ment losing in that battle 9 killed and 38 wounded. Embarking at Alexandria, June 29th, it proceeded to Harrison's Landing, on the James River, to reenforce McClellan; but the Government having ordered that the route by the James must be abandoned, McClellan was obliged to withdraw his army, upon which the Sixty-seventh was ordered to Suffolk, Va. It remained there a few months, enjoying the needed rest and perfecting its drill, after which it moved to Hilton Head, S. C., arriving there February 1, 1863. It participated in the operations about Charleston Harbor in the summer of 1863, and took part in the disastrous assault on Fort Wagner, losing in that brief action 19 killed, 82 wounded, and 25 missing. The regiment went home in February, 1864, on a veteran furlough, and, returning, joined the Army of the James at Bermuda Hundred, where it was assigned to Howell's (1st) Brigade, Terry's (1st) Division, Tenth Corps.

An idea of the determined resistance of the enemy and the perseverance of our troops may be gained in the fact that the fight and pursuit covered a period of over thirteen hours.

The McDonough (first picture) was taken while on duty near Hilton Head by a lieutenant of volunteers who possessed one of those rare new instruments, a camera. She was quite thoroughly armored. Under command of Lieutenant-Commander Bacon she was lying in Stono River, February 1, 1863, when the Isaac Smith, going up the river to make a reconnaissance, was entrapped by three concealed Confederate batteries. The McDonough got under way to the assistance of the Isaac Smith, but was unable to stand the fire of the heavy rifled guns that finally caused the surrender of the Isaac Smith. Thus these improvised gunboats went bravely to their tasks, sometimes winning single-handed against superior force, sometimes paying the penalty of their boldness in cruising up rivers an

In this picture of December, 1864, the Federal vessels lie peaceful before the Fort so impregnable to their attacks early the preceding year. The shore appearing below was lined with Georgia sharpshooters by Captain George W. Anderson, Jr., commander of the Fort when the monitor Montauk and four gunboats advanced to the attack of Feb. 1, 1863. The Montauk, under Commander John Lorimer Worden, hero of the original Monitor, was the first Federal ironclad to arrive in Ossabaw Sound. Early on January 27th, it furiously attacked the fort. On this occasion the Federal vessels did not attempt to cross the line of piles and torpedoes. The Confederates were confident that in the second attack attempts would be made to land boat-parties to assault the works, and the sharpshooters were posted to prevent this. Commander Worden and hi
