Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Sinking of the Merrimac a Personal Narrative, of the Adventure in the Harbor of Santiago De Cuba, June
The admiral's purpose was not known to me, but the circumstances of the coaling showed clearly that distant service was in View. I deemed it proper, before leaving for such service, to make known to him certain features of a plan relating to the pro spective reduction of Havana, the details of which, if it should be adopted, would require early atten tion; and it was while I was making this report that the admiral first proposed to me his scheme of sinking the Merrimac at Santiago.
