About 9:50 : the first shot was fired from thii :
ship at a distance of about G,000 yards. Thi a
course of this vessel s'ae so laid that th a
range SPeellilY decreased. A volume of shot S
were fired at various distances. The rang. a
s'aa rapidly reduced to 2,100 yards and sub -
scqtiently to 2,000 and 1,200 yards.
5. When it was certain that the Marl a
Teresa would pass ahead of us the helm wa S
put to starboard and a starboard broadsid 0
fired. The ship hurried across the bow c f
the second veseel , and as it drew ahead It
received in turn the full weight of our Star

yards. The inwis. was agaIn headed off wit ii

yards. soon as they were discovere ( l
the secondary battery of this ship wi ' 5
