The scr^w stopped^ as suddenly' as it bad started and somehow I struggled to >ny feet again. Seeing out a few strokes more wore needed .totcomplete ray job. I soon bad the good old-ship in fighting trim again, so far at least as her propeller was concerned. Being now at liberty to return, I cau­ tiously retraced my steps to where the ladder hung idly swinging-to and fro Ini the water, and was about to mount to the surface, when with a drash and roar of ten thousand shots, a big shell fell apparently right over my head, and after that seemod but the fraction of a second, settled,as I thought, directly upon me. Passing but a few feet distant, it had scarcely reached the bottom when the very earth and sea seemed shattered to atoms. Tne shell had -exj me! By some-nieans the hooks provided in the breast of my armor had become, fastened to a rung,ofjoy ladder* else tbjs tale had never beep...told. Stunned apd assistance could reach her. The shot fell fast and furions against the iron of ber turret and side armor, while the water on all sides fairly boiled from-the frequent shot striking its surface. It seemed ‘a veritable iron halt As our littie picket boat approached the the scene; pf conflict, the firing suddenly ceased, and we were fortunate enough to get below with the apparatus before the storm again burst over the trembling ship. The cause of this apparent kindness was made known to us the following day by A deserter from Fort Sumter. _ ■O . . . As the picket steamer approached the unt . Dfo. dav^jsjtbg t:~ we.reaUy live, for now events ; ~ ’moBrtw,-jiW-enensyrrn»agined that a mes­ sage from the Yankee commander was about tc- be received, looking to an armis­ tice or surrender, so slackened fire. After waiting a few moments, and the expected flag of tiuce not making its- appearance, the enemy saw that somehow they bad been outwitted, and the shower of shot and shell > eemed to increase in fierceness as they reopened fire. In a abort time I saw how matters stood, and succeeded in finding a place on the lee side of the turret, where, if the ship could be kept in one position, no shot could reach me. Cart fullyt instructing my men as to their duties, I at length get my ladder overboard on the safe side, and made it fast in such a manner that should the wiod change or rise during my absence under water, my means of escape should be erjtireiy eutjofiL -Leq^iag jng -aif, p’pe up through the turret anci out through one of the ports, I secured them to my helmet, and requested that all firing from the ship be suspended during my al sence, for experience bad taught me- the danger of a heavy discharge directly ove rhead of a direr. The position of tbo turret favored my request, and placing its back to the enemy enabled me to use the gun port as I have described.. As my life wonld hang upon a thread at best, I made every arrange­ ment for safety that experience could sug­ gest, even going myself into the engine­ room and enjoining upon the engineer of the watch not to allow th* engines to be started upon any consideration until my return from the perilous undertaking, the success or failure of which assured the safety or loss of the vessel. The pump for supplying me with aijt was fixed in the turret-chamber, and as the fragments 'ef shot, which still poured in from Sumter, might ent the air tube as it crossed the deck, I had arranged a stout iron pipe as--a sheath, and discarded entirely the usual signal-line. All being in readiness, after personally inspecting aH of the apparatus, I cautiously made my way to the ladder, and having fixed my helmet firmly in its place, and secured my kit of tools, hammer, saw, chisels, etc, to the strong belt attached for the'^>nfjf>ose, began-my stow decent. Fortunately, the water was quite clear and free from mud, so I had no difficulty in seeing everything with perfect distinct­ ness. Gradually nearing the bottotf, for the depth of water exceeded the draught of vessels of less than four feet, I became aware of quite a strong current setting me against the ship, which, while lessening noy fear of being.swept out of reach of my ladder, rendered working more difficult. As usual, my progress was attended by numbers of .curious fish, and as t neared the bottom one or two huge fellowspassed close by, but seemed intent on other pray leaving me in peace. Once or twice I was somewhat startled by a heavy splash overhead, and a dnll thud, followed by the rapid descent of a shot or shell within easy view, and as it weald settle into the soft, cozy bottom, a . «»*wi«*eavew* nui a M -r »a* - . . . ••W or exchange for oiher property..

After what aecmed mites-of groand paMcdLover, and bouts of time, the beat of tbe engine grew gradually slower, then > stopped, and no sooner did I feel the pressure of- tbe current relax, than I prepared to maky the best of way to the surface, I remember no more. A deadly feint seized me and for hours I lay without life, vibrating between this world and the one beyond. Returning senses revealed my four men around, me, on the wardroom table, doing their utmost in my behalf, and only gave way to the itrgeon When a Heavy groan and slowly opening eyes told 1 that my life was safe. I speedily recovered, and for the first time learned the details of my great yteril and marvelous escape. ::-s .; I Immediately on the strain being taken I off of, tha propeller by. -the chains; being cut, the ettginea ga«e the quick partial revolution which I have mentioned, and tbe engineer, as in duty bound, of course, reported that the disability to the machin­ ery being removed be was prepared to go ahead at any moment. It was but a few minutes after this that the tide began ta floW; causiag the current I have spoken cf, and the devoted vessel bade fair to.be again drifted among the dreaded obetrutfon* and. still nearer to Sumter, whose gucs never ceaaed their roar all the time. Captain.------, to prevent this threatened catastrophe, and feeling certain that I was clear of dangerfrom tbo- propeller, deter­ mined to go ahead a short distance to clear all danger from tbe obstructions, and then to await my return to tbe surface before pr< ceediag farther.
