3 6-inch (port) was disabled, and a spare one substituted. The action was resumed at 11:10 a. M. , the starboard battery being first engaged. The reply was principally from the forts, but these were soon silenced. Advantage had been taken of the interval to put the battery in order again. The breechings on No. 2 6-inch were replaced by the gunner s mate of the division. The guns were still very hot, and the breech plugs became still harder to work. The forward 8-inch gun was put out of com miss...ion for about twenty minutes from this cause. At 12:20 the ship was turned around and the port battery brought into play. At 12 140 p. M. Cease firing was sounded, a white flag having been raised at Cavite. The executive officer, J. A. Howe, says of the officers and men: "Very few, if any of them, had ever been under fire before, but their cool ness was remarkable. They were full of zeal, energy, and enthusiasm, and were untiring. Where the conduct of all was so commendable it would be impossible to single out any individual for special praise.
