No engagement of the civil war wa*
carried uu with mure heroism and en
durance than that fought by the For
ty-ninth United State* colored troops
after bostllltlea were over. The Maga
alii* of American History contains an
account of the tussle iu which the
black soldiers liore themselves so
bravely. The steamer Merrimac, load
ed with cottou, left New Orleans for
New York currying, la-sldes her reg
ular [Mtsaengers, thirty officers aud l««>

For several «lays all went well. Then

through which the water for the eou
«tenser wus taken from the sea was
broken, and the plai e of leakage could
uot be reuebed. The passeugers were
liuulc stricken. One small, fat German
went about wringing Ids hands and
crying:
“Aeb, we are at the bottom of the
sea! If we gets pack to New Orleans
will dey gif me pack my monish?”
Th«* water gained fast. The only
hope lay in keeping afloat uutll a ves
sel could be sighted. The colored
troops were pressed Into service and
prove«l themselves th«* heroes of the
«H-casioii. A line of men was establish

stepp«*d back and forth with well
trained military tread. The work be
low was most exhausting. The men at
the Isittoiu could Hut hold their | hm 1-
tion more than three minutes ut a
time. They were blindisi and half
strangled by the swashing sea water
and bruised by the lumps of coal
which dashed about.
But no one faltered, and high above
th«* noise rose the clear, sweet voice*
of th«* workers, now singing an urmy
song, now a cheery n«‘gro uiehaly. The
music brought new hope to the hearts
of th«* passengers. Hour after hour
the men worked and sung. un«l the sea
did not gain on them.
Two days passed, and the drinking
water gave out. Then they could no
longer slug, and their parched throats
were eased only by a scanty supply
of oranges and lemons, but still they
worked. On tin* third day the lights of
a steamer were seen only half a mile
away. Buckets were sent up, mid
with great difficulty, on account of
her wet ammunition, a gun was tired.
To the dismay of all, the steamer pass
ed on. Quickly the soldiers formed a
line once more, aud the wearisome la
bor began again.
After sixty-flve hours of bucket pass
ing a steamer was sighted which re
sponded to the call for help, and the
waterlogged Merrimac was towed Into
harbor.

The men who had sung so cheerily in
Hie midst of hard labor and In the face
of death were thoroughly exhausted,
but they had not lost their light heart
