ADMIRAL KHnEELY's report OF the ga
moan disaster IL a clear and business like
official document, which has no business
with sentiment and does not deal with
that commodity. The very bluntness OF
language ser res to recall TO the world
something that, in the excitement at
tending the disaster Of the craft Of two
navies, was well nigh forgotten. Attor
naming the ships of war in the harbor
the admiral says: "There were also few
merchant vessels and small craft" The
fate OF most Of these was that the Van
dalia, the Trenton, the olga and othe-
armed yessels--they went TO destruction
and their crews TO death, There Is mourn
ing in many humble home; there are
widowed women, orphaned children, shat o.
tered estates but there is no glamour
about the life OF the merchant seaman
his vessel sinks too often aud his death
is too common to attract the notice that
is given to those who follow the arts Of
war instead OF the avOcations of peace,
SO We almost need to be reminded tn at,
besides the war vessels, there were in the
harbor OF Apia on the day of the dis
aster, "a few merchant vessels and small
craft"
