THE OLD FLAG TO OUR RESCUE.
One bright morning our eyes were gIaddened
by seeing the u. S. flag steaming into the bay.
An officer and guard were left on the island in
charge of the Government property and we
were put on board tho gunbOat that foated
this hag-the Tallapoosa, think-and sailed
for Key West again, with sad good-by to the
dear old ''San Jack" as we passed her. Widowed

rats and cockrOaches, because she had brought
us safely through tho war and had weathered
many gale, only Mt last to be tamely beached

ONLY FoUR-INE PARAGRAPH.
The war had assumed such gigantic proper
tions at this time that the wreck of the San
Jacnto attracted very little attention, in fact
tho news was announced in four-lne para
graph in the New York dalies
Although no lives were lost in this shpwreck,
1t was tho opinion of everyone that If gale
had como up when we first struck, not soul
would have reached the shore alive, as the dis
lance was too great and there was q terrible
line of breakers to pass through.
Alter we left, the white natives on Green
Turtle Key became troublesome to the few
sailors and marines left to guard tho property.
They came over in body and tried to kick up
n row, but were driven Off
The wrcCkcrs having stripped everything
they possibly could off of the ship, set her on
fire, so they could get ut the machinery in the
hold.
The noble old vessel was very Leviathan

hole torrents of fire. There was no explosion,
as the powdermagazine had been drowned out.
Upon arrival Mt Key West the writer Of this
article was transferred to the U. s. Steamer
Fort Jackson, flagship of Capt. Sands.
The Fort Jackson had been in tho battle of
Fort Fisher, where she lost number of her

land falls below that OF the ocean, and this has
its greatest strength in Midwinter.
The pure sea breeze is first felt in the fore
noon about 10 o'clock, when the temperature
of the adjacent land becomes greater than that
of the sea, reaches its maximum about 3 p. m
the warmest part of tho day, and is then re-
versed into q land breeze about p. M, when
the temperature of the land becomes greater
than that of the ocean. which has its greatest
strength early in the morning when the tenn
peratnre is tho lowest The effect of the land
wind upon the calm, smooth ocean in the fore
noon is usually observed first near shore,
and as tho strength of the breeze increases, it
extends gradually back from the land into the
ocean. But tho reverse of this is sometimes
observed, which no doubt depends upon local
circumstances. In the case of the true sea
breeze depending simply upon contrast of tenn
perature between the level cOastand the ocean,
the greatest thermal land consequently the
greatest pressure) gradient is first caused at and
near the coast where there is an abrupt change
of temperature between land and sea. There
fore the interchange of air between soa and
land must first commence there, and gradually
extend to greater distances, both inland and
out into the sea- MS tho temperature differences
increase toward the middle of the day.
The strong land and sea winds along coasts
with long slopes from highlands and mountain
ranges depend very much upon the cODfgura-
ton of such coasts. Around high promontories
they are comparatively weak. because the area
heated above cooled below the temperature
of the sea is small, and tho effect is distributed
around over comparatively large area. On the
contrary, in n narrow bay surrounded by high
hills or mountains tho effect Of tho heated or
cooled slopes all around is concentrated upon n
parativeIy small space. The cool stratum
of air at night flows in from all sides toward
tho bay with a concentrated effect ut the lower
part of it. or at the common outlet of several
valleys, just as floods from heavy rains increase
in volume and force as the streams from all
sides come into one large river in the valley.
This land breeze frequently comes off in
dangerous squalls. which mariners are told to

dual district court for Tarrant county.
There is considerable diversity of
opinion as to how the county should be
divided. The plan that seems to meet
most general approval is to divide the
city north and south and divide the
county east and west. To divide the
county north and south would throw Il
vast preponderance of population on the
eastern side, in which would be the
towns of Arlington, Mansfield, Grape
vine, Smithtield and others.
