which swept over the harbor of
Nagasaki last August, will be of

crawl on your belly, something
white went by, and away went our
foretopgallaiit sail, saying "good

with guns of distress firing all
over the harbor, an immeuse black
object loomed up on our port-bow
and came down rapidly upon us,
when the admiral rushed to the
port on the half deck and sung
out to stand by to veer on all
chains, and to let go the starboard
sheet. Down came the immense
steamer with three anchors down,
and going ahead with her engines
full speed, yet still passing us stern
