We now turned to the _Congress_, which had tried to escape but hadgrounded, and the battle raged once more, broadside upon broadside, delivered at close range, the _Merrimac_ working closer all the timewith her bow pointed as if to ram the _Congress_. A shell fromLieutenant Wood's gun sped through their line of powder-passers, notonly cutting down the men, but exploding the powder buckets in theirhands, spreading death and destruction and setting fire to the ship.
At last came the order, "Cease... firing. " "The _Congress_ has surrendered, " some one cried. "Look out of the port. See, she has run up white flags. The officers are waving theirhandkerchiefs. " At this several of the officers started to leave their posts and rush ondeck, but Lieutenant Jones in his stentorian voice sang out: "Stand byyour guns, and, lieutenants, be ready to resume firing at the word. Seethat your guns are well supplied with ammunition during the lull. Dr. Garnett, see how those poor fellows yonder are coming on.
