j^Q ADMIRAL FARRAGUT.
While the heavy ships were being dragged over the bar at the Southwest Pass, the mortar flotilla had entered the river under the command of Commander Porter. No time was avoidably lost, though there were inevitable delays due to the magnitude of the preparations that in every quarter taxed the energies of the Government. On the i6th of April, less than ten days after the Pensacola got safely inside, the fleet was anchored just out of range of the forts.
On the i8th the mor...tar vessels were in position, and at lo A. M. the bombardment by them began, con- tinuing throughout the succeeding days till the pas- sage of the fleet, and being chiefly directed upon Fort Jackson. From daylight to dark a shell a minute was fired, and as the practice was remarkably good a great proportion of these fell within the fort.
As Farragut had predicted, they did not in the course of six days' bombardment do harm enough to compel a surrender or disable the work ; but they undoubtedly harassed the garrison to an extent that exercised an appreciable effect upon the fire of Jack- son during the passage.
