Curious disappearances and acci dents to our warships characterized the early history of our navy, and in spite of all the efforts of the navy department to explain the cause of the disasters many of them are as absolute mysteries today as when they happened. When the government built ten new gunboats to prosecute the war against Tripoli in 18Uu, they were STORY OF A NEWS “SCOOP.” T r i c k of a C o r r e s p o n d e n t T h a t “ B e a t ” th e English G o v e r n m e n t . At the dose of the Boer war of 1902 the London Standard publish ed tiic news of the signing of the treaty of pence some time before the government itself knew of it—a circumstance that greatly puzzled the officials.

Among other cases of disaster which are attributed to the violence of the waves or weather there is none more interesting that that of the strange fate of the Saratoga. When she sailed from Philadelphia in October, 1 ?8<i, under the* com- ■ mnnd of Captain James Young, j there was no liner or handsomer J war vessel alloat. That she was as ' formidable as she was attractive ' was soon demonstrated in a practi cal way. After cruising around a short time she captured three Brit ish vessels in succession, and then, with her prizes, she started to re turn to Philadelphia, but off the S Delaware capes she encountered a British ship of the line. As the Saratoga carried only eighteen guns and the Intrepid was a seventy-four gun ship, Captain Young considered R e v i e w Building F R E E P O R T , L. I. Prompt and Careful Work 66 W.

Captain Cropper, General Sir Evelyn Wood’s aid-de-camp, ami 1 tvore very good friends, and as he ! occasionally came out of the house [ to have a chat, he kept me informed I how matters were going inside. Another great friend of mine was Jack Cameron, correspondent of the Standard. I was anxious to j do him a good turn, and it occurred.” to me that now was my ehancfr, so ! I said, “Cropper, you might let me know when they really are signing or going to sign.’’ Then I said to Cameron, “Look here, old chap, you get your horse ready and send it round the corner | of that hill, but be careful that the ; other fellows don't suspect any thing, for as soon as General Wood i and Kruger begin to sign the terms of peace Cropper is coming out to tell me, and when you see me raise | it safer to run away. The enemy my helmet, that is the signal for did not chase her far, but returned j you to gallop into camp and send ! to protect and recapture the Brit- I the news off.\ ish prizes. The Saratoga sailed Shortly afterward Cropper came away in the very teeth of a storm, out and carelessly whispered to me, and she was never heard from ’’ again. A most extraordinary accident was that which happened to the cor- i vet Monongahela at Santa Cruz in 1867. While at anchor, in the harbor a tremendous tidal wave lifted her j upon its crest and carried her clean over the town of Fredcrichstadt | and back again without injuring the 1 town or the boat to any great cx- | tent. The receding wave landed her on the beach instead of in the deep water of the harbor, and it cost our government $100,000 to tloat her again. Fully as strange was the fate of the sloop of war Wateree. She was anchored in the harbor of Arica, Peru, in 1868, when a huge tidal wave swept inland and flooded the whole city. The wave carried the | sloop several miles inland and final ly landed her in the midst of a tropical forest. It was impossible to release her from such a peculiar position, and the government sold her for a nominal sum. The pur chasers turned the vessel into a hotel, and the remains of that once formidable war vessel loom up in the tropical forest today as a monu ment to the power of tidal waves.

It must have been twenty min utes or half an hour later that the general came out on the veranda, and calling the members of the press round him, said, “Gentlemen, 1 have pleasure in announcing to you that President Kruger and the other delegates representing the Boer nation and myself have signed the terms of peace, but I warn you that the wire to England is closed to all communication until my dis patch has gone.” I could not help smiling to my- Sfclf, for I knew well enough that ; Cameron's news was already on the way to England.

It was not a modern American writer who, discussing the children, wrote of them thus: “How many are there who will give place to a man out of respect to.his age and dignity? They are shrewd men al ready and know everything. They are in awe of nobody, but take themselves for their own example.” These were the words of Pliny the younger used in one of his famous letters during the first Christian century, but they will strongly ap ply to much of the young America of today.
