128k | USS Hartford while running Fort St. Philip ran into a load of
trouble. The Confederate tug Mosher laid a fire raft beside Farragut's flagship and set her on fire. The signal officer on Hartford dropped a
few shells onto the fire raft and blew it up. Hosed down, Hartford steered up river with her port beam still smoldering.
