PAST NAVAL DISASTERS.
The Dangers OF Those who Go Down TO
The Sea in ships.

WAsHINeToS. d. C., March 3l-Naval
officers generally concur in the belief that
the disaster at Apia was the most severe
that has ever oyertaken the American
navy in time of peace. Commodore
Walker, Chief of the Navigation Bureau,
an officer of long experience in naval

losses from storm aud stress, running
Lack thiriy-fye years, is as follows

in the China Seas, without leaving "a

on a biz of wreckage, told the story OF
the loss OF every one of his shipmates
The old Yorktown was blown ashore
near the Cape de Verde Islands, on the
African coast some years later, but the
crew escaped. la 1868 a great tidal
wave picked up the ship-of-war Wateree
in the Harbor of africa, Peru, and car
ried her seven or eight miles inland, de
posting her in tropical forest, where
She ended her days as hotel The same
tidal wave caught the storeship Fredonia
at anchor, rolled her over aAd sunk her
instantly with every soul on board.
The Monongahela, now in active ser
vice, had a peculiar experience in the
wear 1867. She was caught up bya tidal
wave. carried over a number OF large
buildings on the Island OF Santa Cruz,
West Indies, knocking down one OF
them, and deposited in the streets Of a
city. subsequently wOrkmen were sent
there who blocked her up and launched
her again.
The Saginaw was cast away IN The
night upon some of the islands OF the Pa
cine about eighteen years ago. The
wreck Of the Huron, although ii occurred
thirteen years ago, is still fresh in the
minds OF people on the coast The ship
was wrecked upon Currituck Beach, y.
c.. and few OF ner crew escaped 20 tell
the story OF heavy weather and false

Commodore Walker thinks that the
English man-of-war Calliope escaped al
Apia because she had steam up. The
American vessels We're very short Of
coal, and were probably compelled to
try to ride out the storm at anchor.

The news received hefe to-day Oi tho
fearful disaster at Apia, in which the
American war-ships Trenton and Van
dalia were lost in storm, created con-
siderable excitement, many thinking the
loss OF the vessels was the result of a
fight with the German war vessels. II
may not be generally known that two
Lynchburg boys, Spott Daw son, a step
son Of Mr Jacob Bradley. and Cullen
Breathed, son Of Judge Breathed, were
on the Trenton. Their many friends
are glad they escaped a watery grave.
A curious thing in connection with
the disaster. which will be interesting TO
all who often discuss whether our
dreams come true was stated to an
AdcaHco reporter this morning by Mr.
Jake Bradley. He says on the night OF
the fearful storm which wrecked the
Trenton, his stepsOn came before him Ia
a dream ard told him that he would
have to leave the ship as he was in great
trouble, and strange TO say, Mrs Bradley
related similar dream next morning
