Morris, deliberately slowed up and stopped frequently opposite the forts, as did the Mississippi, so that their powerful batteries might take effect while the smaller vessels got by. in process of construction at the close of the year in the Government shipyards, and one at the New York Navy-Yard being built by a private contractor.
