THE RUN HOTTIE.

The shell was returned to the magazine,
the big guns secured and the Monterey,
after proving herself the greatest. swiftest
and most easily handled warship of her
type in the world. started on her homeward
voyage. The trip home was devoid of in

In few weeks the Monterey will come
down from Mare Island to permanent
anchorage in the bay just off Sausalito.
Before she does this, however. she will
go on the drydock, be thoroughly cleaned
and the armor and machinery now lacking

STANCH AND SEAWORTHY.
Captain Howison's Opinion of the
New Shin.


VALLEJO, May 31-The coast defense
vessel Monterey arrived at Mare Island
Maynard at :02 this afternoon, having
been absent on the trial trip four days and
twelve hours. Immediately on her arrival
at the navy-yard she resumed her former
berth alongside the quay wall, where she
is firmly m0ored awaiting the official YER
dict of her judges, the board of naval in
spectors, who conducted the trial.
From those on board the Monterey 1t
was learned that the trial trip, though
comparatively short, was entirely satisfac-
tory, demonstrating beyond possible dis
pute the serviceabic qualities of the vessel.
The crew to man are unanimous in their
praise of the Monterey, ana pronounce her
to be seaworthy in every particular. As
soon as she was moored the board of naval
inspectors disembarked. going direct to
their shore quarters, here Captain Howl
SOB, president OF the board, WAS seen by a
representative of the Associated Press.
The captain was In excellent humOr. AS
to the success of the trip, the captain re-
marked: "We left Mare Island on Saturday
last to give the MOnterey a fair and i'm
partial trial. This we have done and
found her to be in every respect ali that is.
or was, required Of q vessel of her class.
While outside we experienced rather
heavy weather. but The Monterey proved
herself To be a. admirably steady sea bUat
despite all the stories that have been cir
cuiated to the contrary.
ION our way down the coast we tested
her boilers thoroughly. putting the ship
under full steam for ron of four hours,
and Notwithstanding the foul condition OF
her hull she made in a head sea 1913 knots
The sea was very heavy, but nutwith-
standing she was comparatively steady.
''While off Pigeon Point We made test
of her guns, the result of which was
highly satisfactory. 1t was thought that
some difficulty would be experienced, and
every preeaution was taken. They were
needless, however, for everything was
found to be perfection.
''The effect of the copcussion was not so
severe as had been anticipated, being
scarcely more severe or acute than that px-
perienced from An S-inch gun. The report
was deafenIng, while the shrek of the fly
ing shells wac the most terrific have ever
heard. During the test of the guns the
speed was kept ND to ascertain the effect,
extent OF the charge ana the projeclile
being considered.
During the entire trip mp and down the
machinery was subjected 10 severe test,
as was the mechanism of the guns and
turrets. which worked with exaciness and
precision. The boilers, about which so
much has been said, proved equal to every
test, which was, to say the least. equal To
the former trial. if not more sewers. No
difficulty was experienced in maneuvering
the huge mass OF steel, everything work
ing like charm.
During portion of the trial trip it was
found necessary to keep all the matches
down and the forward bulkhead doors of
the upper structure closed, owing to the

along IaZily at four or five knots an hour,
Santa Cruz and Monterey were passed,
and about dusk the flash light on Point
Sur was sighted.
A steamer away off on the horizon and
another lust coming in sight on her way
from San Francisco, south, were the only
things on the whale wide ocean to be seen.
All night long the monitor fooled around,
the engines going steadily and easily, and
the ship riding placid sea with an easy,
lazy roll. Tuesday morning found the
Monterey below Monterey some twenty
miles, but headed north. The weather
clerk, as if ashamed Of the fOgs of Satur-
day aud Sunday, put beautiful day on
the calendar. The sky was clear. the sun
shine Just warm enough and the sea as
placid as a mill pond. All the guests on
board were figuring on lazy day until d
o'clock, with nothing, on shipbOard at
least. TO break the mon0tonY of the long,
slow roll of the ship until the forty-eight-
hour trial was over.
II was about o'clock when the bugle
suddenly sounded quarters" and the men
flew to their stations.
Some drilr' said the landsmen as they
moved slowly to the upper deck to see
what it would be, but as suddenly came
the order "clear ship for action" and then
every Que knew in an instant that Cap
lains Howison and Kempff had decided to
fire the big guns at sea and not walt to 60
10 anchor on Wednesday.
In second all was hustle on board
The stanchions on the lower deck were
taken down, giving the muzzle OF the guns
clear sweep. Inside the turret forward
with the big 12-inch guns two gun crews
went busily to work under command Of
Lieuten ant Nicholson. the ordnance officer
of the ship, while two other gun crews
were quite as busy inside the turres aft,
where Lieutenant A. G. Almy has COM
mand. The grea. bucklers were taken off
the throats of the guns, the gratings over
the deck lights were taken ND and re-
placed with heavy steel plates. boats were
hauled in ard made fast, search lights
were stripped and everything fastened
and frightened as if the ship was about TO
eni Ter an engagement with an enemy.
Inside the turrets the hydraulic ma
chinery was being tested. The guns are
raised and lowered, the ammunition

1t seemed as if the world had split and
MI its hidden forces were crushing down
at once upon the men crouching in the
angle of the turret where it joins the su-
perstructuCe on the outer deck of the
Monterey.
They were lifted off their feet and even as
they struggled to retain their footing they
saw the great iron armor plates over the
deck lights dancing around as if in frenzy
and heard tile whlr and whistle of an un-
seen yet deadly messenger that was flying
acrCSs the sea.
Big BatSy," one of the mammoth guns
OF the Monterey, had spoken and the echo
of her voice alone had tossed men about
as a child would dolls.
A minute and then way out at sea-
twelve long miles away, a mountain OF
spray sprang up and seemed to reach the
clouds.
'Betsy's" message had reached its desti-
nation. Half a ton of steel, hurled at a
speed OF twelve miles minute, had found a
resting place in old ocean and "Betsy's"
black and smoking muzzle seemed to wear
a sardonic smile and say, come on if you
dare"
l. WAS all over in an instant. the shot,
but in that instant was crowded the terror
one must feel in the presence of power
almost too great TO comprehend.
The cloud of thick whitish smoke drifted
away; the sea was again as calm as ever
the great gun was once more silent and
lifeless as on the day when the people
of San Francisco had wreathed its muzzle
with garlauds OF flowers, but Betsy" had
spoken, had returned her thanks to her
friends, and by her message conveyed to
them an assurance that in times TO come
if needed she would not be found wanting.
