vessel , fires wore spread and the ion-IL ha'
hicaded toward the leading Spanieb ship
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
port hielni for the third ship end as it fli ) I-

yards. soon as they were discovere ( l
the secondary battery of this ship wi ' 5
turned Ipon them , while the main battoi 1
