She flew the colors Of Argentine Republic,

about half league away she opened fire
with three of her 6-inch pieces, cur flag
having been displayed on sighting her.
Our ship having been prepared Tor action

wounded from her first volley. though to
the majority Of our crew this was their in
PRODUCTION to battle.
The next moment our great guns for
ward opened with such echoes as had prob
ably never awakened the sleepy waves OF
that tranquil eXpanse Of water. Both YES
sells had slowed up and the engagement was
on. Our greatest apprehension, knowing
the speed OF the enemy, was that she might
take to her heels before she bad been dam
aged sufficiently to enable us to keep near
enough to Oblige her to fight again. The
executive officer was therefore, instructed
10 give his utmost attention to planting the
projectiles of our great guns at the seat OF
her propeling power.
The engagement had lasted half an hour,
and, although the enemy had fought US
during this time in precisely the way in
which we had hoped to get her to do, no
indications Of the advantage we had ex-
pected from 1t were evinced. and the casu-
alties among our brave bluejackets had
been great. AT this juncture the enemy
veered off TO port and started away. We
kept our fire directed upon her vitals, and
soon she was observed to slacken speed.
Starting in pursuit with the Oregon it
Immediately became apparent that the
enemy's speed was decreased One-half, and
We at once surmised that we had probably
DESTROYED one of her sets OF engines, and
this proved to be The case.
The advantage in speed was now with
us, perceiying which the enemy steered for
the coast. The chase was vigorously kept
up by the Oregon, and at dusk, just after
the searchlight had been turned on, we
came up with the fugitive, and after lit
tie maneuvering rammed her abaft mid
ships. and as we withdrew the Oregon pre-
paratory to repeating the attack We heard
the order, shrill as bugle blast, from the
reeliDg enemy, "CadaemO Dor s!" leach

settle stern forward beneath the waves
The Oregon's crew Sprang to the rescue
of the doomed ships survivors, and fifty
six of them were saved out of 375. The
captain and all the officers of the pirate
ship persisted in the water, except those
who were killed in the engagement of the
afternoon, and all her crew but those
killed in battle and those rescued by the

About o'clock that evening. however,

There was crash and one of the huge 49,

went down, but :here was no time to think
of them, for the Centurion swung broad

the bellpul l sounded the gong fur full
speed ahead. The Oregon fairly leaped
forward, as il eager to take revenge on
her enemy. Only a glaDcing blow was
struck, however, and as we drew off l saw
that no material damage had been done.
AS a last resort l then ordered the tor
pedoes brought up. Carefully the tubes
were prepared and two of the terrible
missiles launched, but without effect.
Meanwhile one continual roar was kept up
by both the large and the small guns.
Wherever there was crack or hole the
small shot entered and carried dreadful
havoc among the crew. The third torpedo,
Whitehead of the latest type, was
launched. and 1 waited for the result in
great suspense.

displacement lying under their noses. Inl-

forward until we were within 5000 yards of

was thus generated we turned our stern TO
the fort and began ''peppering" them.
