Text Appearing Before Image:

The Alabama toward the last hoisted sail to get away,when the Kearsarge was laid across her bows, and wouldhave raked her had she not surrendered, which she had KEARSARGE AND ALABAMA. 623 done, and was trying to get her flags down, and showinga white flag over the stern. The officers of the Alabama on board the Kearsargesay that she was a complete slaughter-house, and wascompletely torn to pieces. This is all I know of theAlabama. Of the one hundred and sixty-three officers and menof the Kearsarge, one hundred and fifty-two were nativeAmericans, and two of the remaining eleven wereEnglishmen.
