" By reference to the chart, you will see how small a space there is for the ships to manoeuvre." On the 2d of March Farragut wrote to his son : " I have just returned from a busy party. We have been shelling Fort Powell, in Grant's Pass. We were at it for two or three days. They replied to us with five or six rifled guns of large calibre. They struck the mortar schooner John Griffiths four times in succession with 100-pounder shells, but fortunately none of them exploded, and but one man was s...lightly wounded.
The Jackson burst a Sawyer gun, and cracked another. The enemy's shot flew a mile beyond us, but struck none of the other vessels. We silenced them in an hour and a quarter, causing them to remain in their dodging-holes until we stopped at sunset.
BLOCKADING MOBILE. 393 We were four thousand yards off, lying fast aground — could get no closer.
" I saw the Mobile ram Tennessee yesterday. She is very long, and I thought moved very slowly.
" A norther is blowing, but as soon as it subsides I will take another look at her.
