The-^attle of Inkerman XHS KECOLLECTIuNS Or A aCKVIVINQ BRITISH TAR. [Written for The Advance] Wy dai ted full speed past the Sana- pareil with th« Uiiiou Jack atom forcstay. As we did so we espiod a little battery on iho tup of II hill, which was naiue..i the Wasp; it beiiij^ the hrst to- stiika ua. Steam oil, we were heading iuto land. The order, prepare turrakini; atettd, being glrei), wu l.iy duTTii between the guii» until we got cluse in, when springijg to out places we let go the whole Jjroudside, which silenced the saucy Wasp f. t some tiuio, at Hiiy rate. >\ o now crept alojii; the shore with a small steamboat ahead of - ua taking aoundiiii^a until we got within six or seven hundred yards of the fort when wo dropped anchor, moored head and stern to prevent swinging round, and keeping our broadside to the eueioy. In tiiia position they could uot ei'reuie train allthairxuns on us for they had the fleet in front of'theui to attend to, and had we been a litHe fsrt'ierout, I don't think we could have remained there. H.iwever.we lemamed there frjm one o'clock until dark, as the captain had s;ud ho would. I can assure you it was the hardest after- noon's work 1 ever did in my life. We had no tune to be afraid or think of any- thing but the working of our guns. Our casualilics were 6 killed, 22 wouuded,aud although some of thein were from thoguu iieit to mine, not a man of us knew any- thing of it until all was over. S>) dense was the sumke that we could not be seen from any of the other Teasels. The Ter- rible was sent in to look for us n;:d wo were all right. The admiral had given orders that on coming out the Terrible was to diop astern, covetirg us from the lire of the Wasp battery. On cnuiing to anchor the admiral gave us what we sup- posed to ba a amiplinjentary spetH-h, but I dim't really believe a single mau heard 'it, so deafening was the roar of the guns. Those who had been lo^kimj en came -around us to examine our dani.t^e, think ing we had been neaily all cut up under the heavy lire of thai fort. W« cleared up the decks, spliced the main l*aco and next niornim; examined our duraage. Our rigging alofi »as liadty cut up, apmrs and yams ptetty well chipped, and thiee or four shots had struck her hull. This ac- tion took place on the I7th October. S>'me of us were U"W about to perform duties of a aitferuni nature. On the 22ud thirty of our crew, of whom I wa» one. were told logo ashore to join the naval biiii.-kdn and do tluty in the trencbeA, etc. The tirst dsy did not no v«iy well â- ; we were too much i-xposed to the enemy's tire by Koiiig into the LancaateT b;aiery onthoii^ht attack, so were twinsferred lo the OteeH l.ilJ, wliioh becnne our sra- tioi'. Wnilo iiu shire we 'nore dividrd into tl'- .â- Â« diviMons ; out- in the trenches, one ia the camp, and «bo f«* Bi»!aklav», reguUrly changing toumis, so that esuh divi.-ioii had iis xiiaro of trench duiy; th» Halaklava divisions keeping suf}>lies to the res", whii'li was not a pleasant job <in the muddy r lad. Our ra.iiiis consi.st- «J of pork and bread, lea or ctjcoa were of lio use to us, for we could not gft no fui 1 to make a fite to cook anythinir,»o we sub.si-iied on raw poik, bread and go.. J cold water three limes a (lay, and thankful we were to gi-t it. The poor soldiers could not very often tct that even. I have known thf in come over to us and oU'ei us thtir gri g in exchange for a J>it to sat ; but w*» alwajs allowed them to kiep their gVoir, aid (livirled our grub witti them. T!.o c-viniurisbirint had not mar en'Uiih means to supply thi-in. There , was siros-mis uuiiiHguinent somewhere. I '• But I .-ee you a'e impiitieijC to hear I some'hngof lii!>')i man. " ''No, no, old frn-i'd I aiii inceiiwoly interested as I never before heiird tiiis history repeited by an old tar, go )ii,all will come in good tune." "But :i« I am so near the point and our fare md uut.es reinaiiiod in the â-  i^anie ''..jijition iho few intfirveniilg days, I in.iy as well ciiiuinenci', hut I fancy you have heard lit tter descriptions of it than I CHngi%e." "'Uh no, ii's the naval side of ! the aiory I am «fter this time." Contin I uing, he said : Long before daylight on I that memorable 6th November, our siuin- ! brrs, if such it may be called, »er« aror.s- ; td by the di.stant bootn of cannon Hin the enemy's »xtreni<i ri^ht. Th j was a! tirat discursive, soon became more regular, and niiiigird with llie sound of j rifl« tiring. It was very dark with a dense â-  fog cnvehipiiig all around us, and about l.dUwenot to tlio trenches, when we I heard the first volley. Dayliyht broke i with a cold drizzlii g rain, the fog still hangiii_.; so densely around us that wa I oouid nut see anything ten feet distant, but I It mis quite •ivideut that the oiigM^'-uient i was becuinin-g general by the c<>inilniit j hooiuin;; of guns and volley tiring of small j arma on our right. I 'J'he captain of our uun .said to me, "you had betier get out, draw the charge of grape and cannister and re-load with solid shot, and hurry up lad." I had no sooner done so when the order came to reverse guu-sand build up sand bags. All old soldiers know the u.-^e of sand lags, so I need uot explain. However,bvford our protection was completed the order wa.-i c.ancelled. The fug had now partly clear- ed and we could see dames of lire and volumes of smoke l)elchiiig from the heavy I guns, from tlie Lancastor on the right, I clear along the line to the sea. We kept ! up this heavy tiring fully an hour when it I was somewhat quieted down, and the fog j now having cleared we could see plainly I wh.it was going on on our light. The battle w.-is ragiiit; with deadly fury, both armies Kghiing with a deiermiu.ition of ' victory ; our poor fello'vs being fearfully 'cutui.'by their overvvheluiing enemy, Sometimes wavering, but never giving ! way. Officers fraiicically waved their swords above their heads to rally their men ; men cheered themselveshuai-seand followed their leaflers. A terrible retribu- tion was in store for the Russi.ms. Our lines advanced, column after column cime into the deadly conllict. The two armies were now in close nuariers, so close were many of them that tiring bfCimie imiiosa- ible. Deadly fnes bayi^neted eacli other; officers fonL.;htivith ritli-sof theslain; men w> re clubbiug each other witli the butts of shattered rilh'S ; a huge guardsmen was to be seen dealing death blowB tn half a dozen Russians who had surround- ed hiiu ; .some stoned each other, while others in pujiilistie fashion Imnniered each other witlilheir lists. The carnasje was fearful, the dead lay in heaps, the groans of tiie wounded and dying mingled with the anathemas and cheers of the liv- ing; but why dwell on so ghadtly a subjeci? The llussi.ius now began to tivo way and it w.is quite evident that I he victory would soon be ours. With a British cheer a«ay dashed the sjuards, followed by the other divi.-ious. Soon the Russians were seen t > tiy in disorder and in every direc- tion, and a cheer that I never foigot,rent the air. Iiikcruian was won. If I rom- omber risjlit there was not another shot fired from the buRteries that afternoon. I »-ei>t over to the camp of the flying artil- lery tj see how they had come through, wh«a one of the luea took from tlio pow^ der box of his gun a brass heliuet with Iourto«-n or bfteen sword cuts in tt. The owner, ho informed me, had ashorsed Aeveii IluRsians and would have. 'iaved him- self had hia sword not tnroken ; it had snapped about a foot from the g«ard. I was waiching him all the riiue, said the man, but powerles to render the leAStassis tance.
