Accidental Gun Explosion at Fort Fisher

From the January 5, 1863, Fayetteville (NC) Observer.

"ACCIDENT AT FORT FISHER--  A letter from Fort Fisher informs us that a few days ago when Col. Lamb was opening fire on a blockader, the splendid gun  "Cumberland" burst at the first fire, wounding six."
