The Confederates served their guns faithfully in spite of the torrent of shrapnell, grape, and shell raining on them from the passing ships: they had, by dint of long practice, become fine gunners. The engagement between the fort and the Federal fleet, and the Federal fleet and Admiral Buchanan's little squadron, lasted from 7.6 A.m. till 10.10 A.m., fifteen times twelve minutes, and yet there was not a single vessel in Farragut's fleet (the Tecumseh, sunk by a torpedo, excepted) that could not have continued the action; or if Dog River bar and the obstructions had allowed, run up to the upper batteries, engaging these also. The sinking of a vessel by artillery-fire alone is a more difficult thing than is commonly supposed by artillerymen, and is usually the result of a fortunate chance, which has directed the shot to some vital spot. The difficulty of taking accurate aim is considerably increased by the motion of the vessel endeavouring to force a passage, and the storm of missiles poured into the battery makes it no easy matter for the men to serve the guns with regularity and coolness. As a proof that artillery-fire alone will never again prevent a steam-fleet from forcing a passage, the channel of which has not been obstructed, the following instances are given: --1.--Attack on, and passage of, Forts Jackson and St. Philip, on the Mississippi.
