ONE WHO KNOWS HIS BUSINESS.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1894-05-09

1t took great deal of eXertion and a Law
ish use of many kinds of language more
profane than pious to induce the COW Wering
wretches to accept the definite idea of fight
ing again. But partly by vigorous maui
ing, partly by threats and coaxings and re-
proofs, some sort Of order was at last
evolved out of the reeling chaos. AS it
would be courting disaster to charge up
the hill, it was decided to retire little dis
tance, marshal ourselves and await the
overtures of the enemy.
Yumen Yusel's men were now swarming
like cloud of locusts over the billow, and
with every symptom of leisure and self
confidence completing their arrangements
for battle. We were to have occupied that
height, but by the chances of war the posi-
tion fell to the other side, so, as the Scotch
say, we stood there and grinned at them
till they were ready to come down.
I looked intentl.7, as you may suppose,
for the man on the black horse. At first
he was not visible, but presently appearing
at one side he rode along the lines at hand
gallop. A conspicuous object all eyes
were instantly upon him. and many tongues
began to gable excitedly.
"There goeth satan," cried Amood Sim
in the screeching tones Of fright, and he
fell to cursing the man on the black horse
with all the curses known to the Moslem
religion, supplemented by many of his own
invention. The warrior above, however,
in no wise affected by the maledictions
poured upon his unconscious head, cor
tinued to ride to and fro, altering forma-
tions and dispositions and otherwise COM
pleting his preparations for the tussle that
was at hand.
Abou Kuram watched his movements
with the intentness of an active rival.
''Methinks," he remarked significantly,
"that satan showeth marvellous skill in
marshaling an army"
"He hath the fallen angels SKILL" piped
Amood. Then all at once and with inten.e
excitement he screamed: "See, seel They
are comingl They shall destroy US utterly!
Not q man of us shall escapep and he cast
alook to the rear-I think in spite of himself
to see if the coast were clear for. flight
Abou Kuram shot glance Of contempt and
disgust upon him, but said not q word.
A body of the enemy's cavalry, consist
ing of perhaps 200 lances, had detached it
self and was coming down the slope at an
easy trot When they had travelled short
distance, the camelmen also began to move
toward us, slowly and without noise or ex
citement. Under the directions of Abou
Kuram, who now assumed supreme COM
mand, 300 lances cantered out from our
side to meet those coming down the slope.

armor-plate has been tested at the In
dian Head proving grounds and has been
found defective. 1t had then been re-
treated so as to overcome the defects.
Was this treatment in secret?" asked
Chairman Cummings.
Mr.. Dunphy answered in the Affirmative
He said that one plate was picked out
as a sample of a large number of plates.
amounting to $40 tons. When this secret
re-treatment had been made IL served to
pass the sample plate, and that In turn
passed the entire 349 tons of armor.
Mr.. Dunphy then spoke Of blow holes
in the armor of the monitor Monterey.
actually located the blow holes which had
been filled up to deceive the government.
Similar blow holes existed in the armor
of many other ships, but II was impos-
sible for the experts to locate the defects
as the ships were abroad at their sta
tions. The first charges covered 200 de-
fectiVe plates.
In conclusion. Mr.. Dunphy said: ''Diy
information is the defective plates will be
found in the Oregon, the Machias, the
Castine, the Monadnock, the Cincinnati,
the Terror, the New York and the Mon
terey, and that the exact position Of the
plates on each of these vessels can be To-
Gated by the parties who made the COM
plant, and whose names the committee
will be able to obtain from the evidence
on file in the Office Of the secretary of the
navy.
My objects in offering the original reso-
luton of inquiry, were, first. that the
government might save perhaps millions
of dollars by the discovery of those great
frauds, and secondly, that if our cruisers
and battle ships had plastered on their
sides or elsewhere, armored plates so de-
fective as to lessen their effectiveness or
safety, the government, on discovery Of
it, might take proper steps to remedy
those evils and provide for the proper eff
fectiveness and safety of the vessels
He added that the defective plates locat-
ed by the government experts had been
estimated to be worth 100000 to S1O00.0O0
and on these the committee has asked
Captain Sampson, of the naval bureau OF
ordnance to appear tomorrow.
