The Alabama Sinks Another Union Ship
'The Confederate Naval power jolted the North today when the death ship "Alabama" sank the Union frigate "Commerce." The frigate tried
to outrace the "Alabama," but could not compete with the powerful warship. The "Commerce" started sinking after the first few hits had
been made. The seamen on board leaped into the churning waters and clung to whatever driftwood was available. Struggling to survive
the whirlpool the men panicked and pulled one another down under the sea. The "Alabama" sent down rescue boats to help the crew of
the "Commerce." Many lives could not be saved. So far, not one Union ship has been able to stand up to the terror of the sea, the
"Alabama."'
