FLESHERTON And at Right Prices tail The Battle of Inkerman IHB REUOliKCTInNS OF A SURVIVING BRITISH TAR. [Written for The Advance] Hrilon'ssdiis will long remeinher The clorioua twcMtit-th of September, The Russian b«r was made surrender, O'er lUo lioisjUts of Altai. Captain Sjmoiis belonged to that type of officers of which, I an", sorry to sny there were ti>o many in the nary in those days, which made the sailors' life intolerable. Fuim the time he first came aboard he ruled with an iron baud, that dismal yell, "all hands witne-ss punishment," was too frequently heaul, and two or three un- fortun^ites woulii each receive their three d.izen lashes, vvhieh almost made each one of us fell as Lhou'.Lh we were goins; to get It ourselves. It is no wonder then, that under the rule of such » tyrant, the crew should crow sullen and perform their duties with (h'ggod iiidilfereiice. When the fleet vms together we wore iienerally kfpt at M tne Wind of exercise, such as ehirtiujj tops-iils, making, or shortening sails, etc., in which exercises we alwiiys made it a p lint to he Hst, which w.>uld raise Black .JioU's temper to the hiahest pitch ; but the crew had become as in- fioxible as Ml.' oai tain. The tU-et return ed and anchored at Varna. However, we were not to reuiiin Ion? idle for we soon found ourselves on the way to Ode.ss;». The iKv.iiVKtrJtucnt of Odetsa hasbee:i too Well dei.Ti*'eil in history f.-r me t« repeat it here. 1 cnuld rot find words to do ju3iice,aud shall make only a few reniarks coiicerninii it. Such of the vessels as could Ket wi'hiu working distance fi!ed in;we scut iu our tir.«t and second launch, the water being too shallow to float us, we had to lnvoffand content ourselves by being eye witnesses to one of the grand- est spectacles of either ancient or niodero naval waifare. After the action we returned to Varna. One day while Dtiddy Lyons and Ulack Jack were walkine to- KOfher on the {K'op, the Arathusa ([•ok- out ship) hove in siaht and U. J. was heard to s.iy to the admiral, "her« cxinies the Ara'hus-* and 1 wi.<h to God I was aboaid her airain. S.-on the signal was hoisted and the exchange effected. B.J. left us with many a gtHui bye and God ble8.s you. You know what we meant, 8.iid Mr. McRiB. Yes, ye«,y"U intended the word "bless" to convey a more bronzy meaning, .'ust so. How sim>u the dif fcrenco between a tyrant »nd»genileniaii manifest.s itself. We were now under the command â- >! two of the best olhcers that ever pactnl a (|uar'er deck. In less than two weeks the ciow had regained its fjrm.ir chourfuliu'fw and activity and could not be beaten at any drill or exercixe by any crew ir. the <vhol" fleet. Captain Moiiiie*koe» his men,hia men knew him He never n.scd the cat, or hid recourse to undue severity while he was with us. Our next trip nas to the Black Sea,havini< on lx>atdOener«l Sir 0'h>. itrovtu ami Mr. Ly:ir<l, MP, for Livervnxd. We liist touched Rt Kupatoria, from thence to SeK-isiapol, wh.re we do<lgetl twck and f.rlhchwoly survejing the forts; their position 'Uid atrenuth. Cspl.-Mennes on one of the-so occusions remarked that he could take in ti.e Agamemnon without much daiiiHge fri>m the forts. Wo shall see when the time comes, replied the Ad- miral. We ealb-d at two or three placeo on I'ur way tnick to Varna. Next came the em^vuâ- i^atiou of troops in which we were hept bu.sy. The troops weie nearly all on bt>ard when 1 met with an accident which laid me two or thre« weeks off duty. It happened this way : I was one of the crew of out first lauch, 18 oars. We were towinc a lari^e pontoon to the shore after disohargiu)j s CHiyo of horses. The wind heini; too strong to make headway a steam tiii; wu.i sent to our aid ; our towliue hav- ing been made f«st, the tug darted away full .»peed, pulling the pontoon's hows uudxr, and the sudden and heavy strain on th>,. towline broke the piece of wood in the bite, which flew and struck me on the liand with such forjc i\s to kuock me off my -seat, hreak one of my fingers and hadly Inceraie the res;. tjur coxs'n. re- ptiftcd the cas.: to the captain. I was lak -ii on to the qu.irterdeek, explained the circums'aiice!< to the luliniral. I was sent til si-k biy, and the coinuiander of the tiig was removed > n short notice. Yes, I often feel the elfects to this day.especially when liftiii'„" anything heavy. The troops weie eventually landed and ready for the inarch to A'nia. While the troops wore on tlie uarv;li we kept abreast of them and as clofse iu'o the shore as possible to Aluia, where we anchored aud cleared for action to cover the uiap.h of the troops. Xow f«r the battlo. The captain »ad Mr. Lyard were III the maintop, where, with ghiises they got a splendid view of the ha'tle. I wassittinijon the maintopsail yanl looking on, but unfi'ttunately the distatice was too great to get a distinct view. 1 could only see masses of troops in motion aithe dense volumes of smoke died away. I cuiinut give a minute des- cription l.eing too frtr off Itis well known to history, but I heard Mr. Lyard ask, "where is thai brick wdl going ?" "You will shortly see," repHed the cep'ain. And so he did, for the brick wall was up the hill and inbi that futt in no time.snd Russians were flying ia every direction. Alma was won. Hitherto we were mostly employed in cruising the Black S«mi to watch the move- ments of iheeneniy'.s fleet, etc., and with the exception of the alfnir at Odessa, we had as yet experienced very little actual warfare, and every luan of U3 was gett- ing inifiatiem to take a share in what was i>oing. Our turn was fast approaching. Kvecy man whose name was oa the sick list, and who was now able or nearly able to return to duty, was struck off the sick list.and to duty we i^turuetl,commeDCing with landing the Scots (ireys from the troopship, Uyraillaya, and they were in tine shape to try their muscle with the Kussiaus. We then went round to Balak- lavs to assist in landing the heavy siege guns and geteverything to the froDt,after which we rejoined the fleet off Alma. -And now for the be^iuuipg of the famous siege. The French fleet engaged Fort Alexan- diia on the south side. Our fleet eogaij- ed Fort Constantine on the ttorth side of the harbi r, both fleets engagins siniul- tiiuou.<ly. The sigiuil, up anchor and form line and n.vay. We waitid until the enemy had forme<l into position ; the .Agameinn >u had a little fun of her o*n to attend to. Starting after them, full speed on, we passed the Sanspareil. Her crew gave a rousing cheer, in which we responded by singing : "And now wo will do what we can, boys. To prove our true valor lung in store ; Frail sliips can't be thought to compare [boys With their strong forts on the shore. Tlieir shipping lies snug in the harlior, They will not come out and stand true ; The Agamemnon is ready to meet them, With the "red" at her uiiizeo, in view." (To bo continued ) Ceyloa.
