Naval Victory Off Newport In Big Harbor Battle
Two cruisers and three battleships of Adm Higginson's fleet moved within broadside range of Fort Adams and Fort Wetherill before being spotted by searchlights. The Brooklyn reached the harbor mouth, a feat naval men call a victory for the fleet. Fort batteries shifted to secondary guns as the gunfire roared, then the fleet withdrew in formation, undamagingly, while forts fired only light broadsides. The night maneuvers continue as New London hosts a review with Gen MacArthur and Adm Higginson likely to exchange courtesies.
