W. Perrin; Engi- 3ieers, George D. Linning, J. C. O'Connell, John Hayes, Oscar Renson and Wm. B. Patterson; Paymaster's Clerk, J. H. Cohen; Master's Mates, W. A. Forrest, Wm. Beebe and R. M. Carter; Boatswain, John McCredie; Gunner, Herman L. Smith. The crew numbered 110 men. In addition to the Tennessee the Confederate squadron ■consisted of three small gunboats: Oaines, J. W. Bennett, Lieut. Commanding; Morgan, George W. Harrison, Com- mander, and Selma, P. U. Murphy, Commander. All were unar...mored except for small spaces around the boilers, where a, few inches of light iron plating had been put on in order to ■afford some protection to the boilers and machinery. The Morgan and Gaines had been hastily constructed by the Con- federate government ; their frames were of unseasoned wood 556 THE CONFEDERATE STATES NAVY. and their engines were entirely too small for their tonnage. The Selma was an open-deck river steamer that had been, hurriedly altered into a gunboat. The Morgan carried two 7- inch rifles and four 32-pounders; the Gaines, one 8-inch rifle and five 33-pounders ; the Selma, three 8-inch old fashioned Paixhan shell guns and one venerable smooth-bore 33-pounder that had been rather clumsily rifled and was not reliable for close shooting.
