EDITOR CHIEF-As there are
many OF my friends in your vicinity
who are anxious to learn something
of the promised land, Oklahoma, I
take this means Of informing them Of
my opinion in regard to it or the
portion I saw. I visited the eastern
portion last week and saw some of the
finest lands and timber the sun ever
shone upon, also some as poo, rough
and rocky as man could we'll find.
T~wo-thirds Of Oklahoma is not Ct for
farming, cf'the other o~ne-third, there
is three grades: Poor, good and
extra good. CLAIMS Of extra good are
selling at from q to two Thousand
dollars. All claims are taken even to
the rocks and jackoaks. The eastern
portion of Oklahoma, is . rough hilly
country, With small, nice creek
bottoms, and well vatered, Of good
quality. The principal timber con-
sists of black walnut. bur oak, COT
tonwood ard ash, with some honey
hickory, buttonwood and
coffee bean. Wild b~lackberries
abound along the creeks.
The soil is red but very rich and
and grass that would make .
River steckman weep for

The system Of endorsing IS al

What responsibility does one assume
when he ENDORSES . note? Simply
this: He is held for the payment Of

AS 1t was highly probable that this vessel
carried dynamite guns, Crab Q, which
was the fastest of her class, was signaled
to go after her. She had scarcely begun
her course across the open space of sea
before a torpedo boat was in pursuit.
Fast as was the latter, the crab was
faster, and quite as easily managed. She
was in position of great danger, and
her only safety lay in keeping herself on
a line between the torpedo boat and the
gunboat, and to shorten as quickly as
possible the distance between herself and
that vessel.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-05-15
1AERDAFF BEFORE TILE BONTBARDMENT.


IF the torpedo boat shot to one side in
order to get the crab out of line, the crab,
its back sometimes hidden by the tossing
waves, sped also to the same side. When
the torpedo boat could aim gun at the
crab and not at the gunboat, deadly
torpedo flew into the sea, but tossing
sea and a shifting target were unfavor-
able to the gunner's aim. 1t was not
long, however, before the crab had run
the chase which might SO readily have
been fatal to it, and was so near the gun
boat that no more torpedoes could be
fired at it.
Of course the officers and crew of the
gunboat had watched with most anxious
interest the chase of the crab. The vessel
was one which had been fitted out for
service with dynamite guns, of which
she carried some Of very long range for
this class of artillery, and she had been
ordered to get astern of the repeller and
to do her best to put few dynamite
bombs on board of her.
The dynamite gunboat. therefore, had
kept ahead at full speed, determined to
carry out her instructions if she should
be allowed to do so, but her speed was
not as great as that of crab, and when
the torpedo boat had given up the chase,
and the dreaded crab was drawing
swiftly near, the captain thought it time
for bravery to give place to prudence.
With the large amount of explosive ma
terial of the most tremendous and ter
rife character which he had on board, it
would be the insanity of courage for him
to allow his comparatively small vessel
to be racked, shaken and partially shiv-
cred by the powerful jaws of the oncom-
ing foe. AS he could neither fly nor
fight, he hauled down his flag in token
of surrender, the first instance of the
kind which had occurred in this war.
When the director of Crab @. through
his lookout glass, beheld this action on
the part Of the gunboat, he was little
perplexed as to what he should next do.
To accept the surrender of the British
vessel and to assume control of her, it
was necessary to communicate with her.
The communications of the crabs were
made entirely by black smoke signals,
and these the captain Of the gunboat
could not understand. The heavy matches
in the mailed roof, which could be put
in use when the crab was cruising, could
not be opened when she was at her fight
ing depth and in a tossing sea.
A means was soon devised of COM
municating with the gunboat. A speak
ing tube was run up through one of the air
pipes of the crab, which pipe was then
elevated some distance above the sur
face. Through this the director hailed
the other vessel, and as the air pipe was
near the stern of the crab, and therefore
at a distance from the only visible por-
tion of the turtle back roof, his voice
seemed to come out of the depths of the
ocean.
The surrender was accepted. and the
