Cincinnati Flag Gunboat Bears Marks of Rebels Fire
A Cairo correspondent notes the Cincinnati, flagship of Com. Foote, endured about fifty shots with thirty-one hitting. Fire concentrated on her range and ferocity before surrender, with guns dented muzzle, through bulwarks, and deck torn by splinters. One sailor killed, Capt. Pratt wounded, crew rallied despite beheading nearby. The vessel returned to port under the Stars and Stripes amid cheers on the levee.
