Pull up and rim or fight? Gen Shelby resorted to strategy and determined to wait and fight Every trird leading into the town was well guar4ed and every person going or coming to or from the town was placed under arrest and every precaution was taken to conceal our presence The command waited'impatiently until 10 o'clock when the horses were taken from the batteries and a detail of twenty men to the gun mm made to haul them into position the night being a little hazy and a slight fog on the river favored us We moved the guns along cautiously It became necessary to pull our coats off and lay them on the bridges for the cannon wheels to roll on to prevent noise All this was done with the greatest care until we had the four pieces of cannon draws up in line within fifty yards of this silent grim monster We could hear the steam hissing through her machinery and see the blue smoke from the dying embers In her furnace curl above the mist The whole brigade drew up in line above and below the battery with eager eyes bent on the black object riding at anchor out in The clear round moon made its appearance late in the night' The "stars and stripes" hung lastly at her flagstaff her bladk iron sides with her portholes closed rocked slowly in her cradle of blue waves No sound save the change of guards and the thne-bell pealing forth the hour of night and the sentinel on his beat responding "all is went" but little realizing the true situation on shore For there was a brigade of as determined men as ever looked through the sights of a rifle lying fiat on the ground elbows touching not sixty yards away The idea of surprising a gunboat with cavalry is soRrething not recorded in history A gunboat with an armament capable of sweeping us from the face of the earth lay right under he muzzles of Shelby's guns The gray dawn of a bright June morning made its appearance in the east finally Shelby moved cautiously up and down the column to see that everything was In readiness The men were waiting eagerly for the word I was lying fiat on the ground between Joe Terry and Mike Roach and I thought I could bear their hearts beat as the word "ready" was passed along the line Then came the word "fire" 1WO muskets and carbines and four cannon heavily loaded like a flash of lightning and a clap of thtmder broke the long stillness and sent shower of iron and lead rattling and crashing upon the decks of this new mbag onist--this enemy encased in his iron armor Thiswas repeauld once twice thrice and until she was rent with shot and shell fore and aft and lay helpless on the water her crew was so badly disabled that she could pot fire a shot She struck her colors and whistled defeat At once the firing ceased and Gen Shelby took charge of his prize the Queen City She proved to be one of the enemy's finest iron-clad war' vessels Her armament ponsisted ot thirteen heavy Parrott gunsf'' Manned-1 bl a large crew of "Phi We that luiewtheir bust-flees well This wastttrult one of The Most brilliant episodes of the war A complete surprise The muffled wheels of the cannon forged up to within fifty yards of the enemy's iron-clads and the men for five long hours lying on the groundnot permitted to speak above a whisper Shelby knew the enemy at Davalti Bluff had heard his guns and that they would know what it meant The gunboas were soon beard on their way down and we knew the day's work had only commenced Taking two of the large Parrott guns from theprize a land battery was improvised Having disabled the boat so badly that she would be of no benefit to the command she was blown up and sunk The wetmded were taken care of by the brigade surgeons and everything done to relieve them Capt Hickey the commander of the Queen City and seventy-five soldiers and sailors were sent to the rear as prisoners Hasty work arranging the batteries along the bluff putting out tharpshoOters along the river above and securing shelter for the men soon brought everything in readiness for we knew the final struggle was close at The long black 'smoke curled above the river and the puffing and blowing an owlsional whistle from the foremost boat to the others to keep well closed up told as in unmistakable terms that we had stirred up a "hornets' nest" and that tbeywere upon us A long stretch of a mile in the river above us gave us time to size up Our enemy who soon came in full viewin the shape of four Icon-dads their flags floating out against the fresh morning sir 1 The Tyler the flag-ship was in the lead and when within four or five hundred yards of the battery on Clarenden Bluffs she fired of the battery on taarenden Bluffs she fired I From Jacksonport to Augusta the trip was made in one day (forty-two utiles) without incident Arriving at Cache River about noon the second day we found that stream bank-full from recent rains: also the bottoms and bayous were flooded Al- ir uch aoss this river delay we erried swain and wadcr ed for twenty miles more and arrived on high Clarendon Twelve

railroad and it Wt19 by boatsup White River ao this point and thence by this railroad that the Federal army at Little Rock was supplied Gen Shelby knew that any Inteference on this line would be like severing their arteries so he determined to attack the first boat that passed Clarendon Scouts reported that a fleet of boats had passed up that morning but knowing that he would bag some game before waltinf very long Gen Shelby put out pickets all ad the town and moved cautiously to within sight of the river Just at dusk the reconnoitering party reported a large iron- clad having rounded to and
