Though it is questionable, 160 DIARY OF A YOUNG OFFICER as we have suggested, whether any serious loss was inflicted on us by the gunboats, the horrors of the fight, were aggra- vated, by the monster shells, which tore shrieking through the forest, and exploded with a concussion which seemed to shake the solid earth itself.
