An appalling Stuation.-In Cooper's
Naval History, we find the following in
teresting description of scene on ship
board, which illustrates in striking man.
ner, the effect of discipline in a man-of.
war:
On the 10th of April, the New York,
John Adams and Enterprise sailed
While making this passage, just as the mu-
sic had been beating to grog, a heavy ex-
plosion was heard near the cockpit of the
flagship, and the lower part of the vessel
was filled with smoke. 1t was an appal-
ling moment, for every body on board
was aware that quantity of powder, not
far from tho magazine must have cxplod-
ed-that fire was necessarily scattered in
the passago-that the ship was in danger
Captain Chauncy was passing the drum
mer when the explosion was heard, and
he ordered him to beat to quarters.
The alarm had not been given a minute,
when the men were going steadily to their
guns, and other stations, under standing
regulation which directed this measure in
the event of cry of fire as the most ccr-
tain means of the officers entire command
of the ship. and of preventing confusion.
