L8l sunshine, ami courage of Erin's sons. He fought the first naval engagement of the rebellion, in May 1861. In his earlier society days he was very active and popular, but the weight of over four-score years is now too much of a handicap. Rear Admiral J. E. Jouett, of Kentucky, and Mrs. Jouett, appear but little in society. Admiral Jouett, president of the Board of Inspection, who commanded the Metacomet in the fight in Mobile bay, was directed by Admiral Farragut to pursue three gun-boats an...noying the fleet with a raking fire. When pursued the enemy ran into shallow water. The man at the lead on Jouett's vessel soon began shouting shoal water. Jouett, de- termined not to give up the chase for want of water, yelled: " Take that man away from the lead ; he makes me nervous. Shove her ahead. " Away she went, grinding over the bottom, but making short work of the gun-boats. Rear Admiral John Lee Davis, a native of Indiana, president of the Re- tiring Board, served in the Mexican war, and commanded the iron-clad, Mon- tauk, engaging Sumter, and other formidable batteries in the south Atlantic during the rebellion.
