the afternoon of July 18, 1863, 805 shells were thrown at them, although the fire of the ship was often slackened owing to the silencing of the enemy's guns. Smoke often ret irded the pointing and firing At the fight of April 7th, the spar deck was cov- ered with bags of sand, overlaid with rawhides, and the sloping sides of the four- inch armor were plastered with grease an inch thick for better resistance of the enemy's shot. After that day the sand bags alone were retained for protection against plunging fire. The value of such protection was fully demonstrated. The ten-inch solid shot from forts would scoop off the bags struck, but leave the deck plank practically uninjured. The one-inch iron plate underneath, however, would be invariably shattered A rebel torpedo boat of David pattern succeeded in explod - ing a heavy torpedo under starboard bilge amidships on evening of. Oct. 5, 1863. Happily the ship received no serious damage, but Acting Master Howard was mortally shot as he stood in the gangway hailing the David. For service in Iron- sides Mr. Belknap received commendation from her respective commanders, Commo- dores Turner and Rowan, and from Admiral DuPont. He was ordered to command gunboat Seneca, Sept., 1864; transferred to command of monitor Canonicus, off City Point, James river, Nov., 1864; engaged Howlet's House Battery, Dec. 5 and 6, 1864; subsequently proceeded to Beaufort, N. C., as one of Porter's fleet. In both fights at Fort Fisher, Dec., 1864, and Jan., 1865, he engaged the enemy at closest quarters; ship aground at times; received many hits; men knocked down inside of turret by impact of shot; one officer wounded by grape shot from fort during assault; flag shot away three times; boats and smokestack riddled; guys and davits shot away, and much other damage received; directed movements and fire of the vessel from outside pilot house and turret; commended by Commodore Radford and Admiral Porter.
After the capture of Fort Fisher, he was ordered to proceed with Canonicus to Charleston; was on advanced picket duty the night the enemy evacuated the city and fired the last shot at its defenses; also received the last shot from the enemy directed to the fleet, an eight-inch rifle shell from Moultrie, Feb. 4, 1863; accompa- nied Admiral Dahlgren to the city on the afternoon after the evacuation. That evening, by a ruse, in concert with the late Commodore Barrett, assisted in the cap- ture of the English steamer Deer, attempting to enter the port; commanded the Ca- nonicus in Admiral Godon's special squadron to Havana in quest of the rebel iron- clad Stonewall; found her surrendered to the Spanish authorities; put Canonicus out of commission at Philadelphia, , une, 1865; ordered to Naval academy, July, 1865; detached at own request, Aug., 1865. He was executive officer of the Shenandoah, sailing for Asiatic Station via Cape of Good Hope and Indian ports, Dec., 1865; was promoted to commander for war service on the way out, and assigned to com- mand of flagship Hartford, on arrival at Hong Kong, Feb., 1867; commanded squadron expedition against the Indians, southern coast of Formosa, June, 1867, where many were stricken with sunstroke; lost one officer, shot by enemy; partici- pated in ceremonies incident to the opening of the ports of Osaka and Kobe, inland sea of Japan, Jan., 1868; put Hartford out of commission at New York, Aug., 1868; ordered to Naval academy, Sept., 1868; detached at own request, Oct., 1868; rendezvous duty. New York, winter of 1868-'69; navigation officer, navy yard, Boston. 1869-'72; ordered to command the Tuscarora, May, 1872; sailed for the Pa- cific. via Straits of Magellan, the following month; ordered, Jan. 1, 1873, to take Com- mander Selfridge on board at Panama and cooperate in the survey for an inter- oceanic canal across the Isthmus of Darien; landed seamen and marines at Panama, April, 1873, to protect the transit across the isthmus during a revolution there; was assigned, May, 1873, to special duty in the Tuscarora, having been selected by the department to make deep-sea soundings between the western coasts of the United States and the sbores of Japan, to determine the practicability of laying a subma- rine cable on the bed of the North Pacific; fitted the ship for the work at Mare Island and began operations off San Francisco the following September. He was supplied with apparatus for sounding with both rope and wire, but soon discarded the use of the former altogether, and used the Sir William Thomson machine for sounding with pianoforte wire, of gauge No. 22. The machine was new and comparatively untried; he improved upon the details of its construction, and prosecuted the work with great success, working an entire revolution in the methods of deep-sea sounding, getting more accurate results than had hitherto been obtained with a corresponding economy of time and labor. The Challenger had been supplied with the Thomson machine, but would not attempt its use. The superintendent of the coast survey also discouraged its adoption, but Admiral Ammen, then chief of the Bureau of Navigation. Navy department, determined it should be tried on board the Tuscarora, and the result amply sustained his prescient decision. Mr. Belknap ascertained the true continental outline from Cape Flattery to San Diego; ran lines of soundings from San Diego to Yokohama via the Hawaiian and Bouin Islands; returning, sounded from Cape Flattery via the Kurile Islands and the Aleutian group; found off the east coast of Japan one of the deepest and most extended troughs yet discovered in the bed of the great oceans, the deepest cast being in 4,655 fa' homs, or more than five and a quarter statute miles; invented three different cylinders, or cups, for bringing un specimens of the bottom, which are now in use in the navy. The cup, No. 2. slightly altered, has been adopted by the coast survey, under the name of the "Sigsbee Cup." The progress and results of the Tuscarora's survey excited great interest both in this country and in Europe. In an address before the Mathemat- ical and Physical Section of the British Association at Glasgow, Sept., 1876. Sir William Thomson spoke of the work in terms of high compliment. Sir William Thomson, of the Challenger expedition, also commended the methods and achieve-
