The only casualty worthy of mention which had occurred was the death of Chief Engineer Frank B. Randall, of the steamer _McCulloch_, who died from heart disease, probably superinduced by excitement, while the fleet was passing Corregidor. There were handshakings and congratulations on every hand as smoke-begrimed friends, parted during the battle, met again, and loud were the cheers that went up from the various ships in passing. After breakfast had been served and the ships made ready for the second round, or, in other words, at 10.15 in the forenoon, the Spanish flag-ship _Reina Christina_ hauled down her colours, and the admiral’s flag was transferred to the _Isla de Cuba_. At 10.45 a signal was made from the _Olympia_: “Get under way with men at quarters.” Again the fleet stood in toward Cavite, the _Baltimore_ in the lead, but the latter vessel’s course was quickly changed as a strange steamer was observed entering the bay. Not many moments were spent in reconnoitring; the signal flags soon told that the stranger was flying the English ensign. Then came the order for the _Baltimore_ to stand in and destroy the enemy’s fortifications, and ten minutes later the battle was on once more. Now the fire was slow and deliberate, the gunners taking careful aim, bent on expending the least amount of ammunition with the greatest possible execution. The _Baltimore_ suffered most at the beginning of this second round, because all the enemy’s fire was concentrated upon her. Soon after this second half of the engagement had begun a Spanish shell exploded on the _Baltimore’s_ deck, wounding five of the crew, and another partially disabled three. It was as if every square yard of surface in that portion of the bay was covered by a missile from the enemy’s guns, and yet no further damage to the American fleet was done. When the _Baltimore_ was within twenty-five hundred-yard range she poured a broadside into the _Reina Christina_ which literally blew that craft into fragments, and the smoke from the guns yet hung like a cloud above the deck when the ill-fated flag-ship sank beneath the waters of the bay. The _Don Juan de Austria_ was the next of the enemy’s fleet to be sunk, and then a like fate overtook the _El Correo_. The _General Lezo_ was run on shore and abandoned to the flames. The cruiser _Castilla_ was scuttled by her crew lest the fire which was raging fiercely should explode her magazine. The _Velasco_ went down before all her men could escape to the boats. The guns of the _Don Antonio de Ulloa_ were fought with most desperate bravery, and even as she sank beneath the surface were the pieces discharged by the brave Spaniards who stood at their posts of duty until death overtook them. The _Concord_ started after the _Mindanao_ lying close inshore, and was soon joined by the _Olympia_, who poured 8-inch shells into the transport until she was set on fire in a dozen places.
