brief one. Taking advantage of the
quietude, the enemy crept up and fred
upon the scouts, commanded by Lieut..
Commander Mackenzie, who, daringly
leading retaliatory charge, fell into a
well-laid ambuscade, was MORALLY
wounded, and died few, moments later
while being carried to the rear. With a
number of the officers and men overcome
by sun and by heat strokes, and with a
country before them growing momenta-
rily worse for them and easier for the foe,
the retreat was sounded; and, footsore
and weary, with the added burden of
their stricken fellows, Belknap's com
nand turned gladly back over that try
ing road of three miles to the beach.
Shortly afterward Read S command joined
the main body, after what proved to be
the hardest of the days struggles, and by
o'clock the whole expedition was back
on shipboard, thoroughly worn out by
their constant labors of quite seven hours
in that fearful sunlight and exhausting
heat. No sailors, indeed no troops, I'M
accustomed to bush life, ever displayed
more courage and spirit; but it was an
unequal trial where everything was in
favor of the native, who forced his own
style of warfare upon our men and led
them from one ambush to another bad
shooting alone saving a wholesale slaugh-
ter Lieut.. Commander A. S. MacKen-
zie's body was buried in the garden of the
British consulate at Takao, Formosa, and
commemorative tablet at the United
States naval academy tells how he fell in
an effort to ayenge the taking of those 13
innocent lives.
Today the Hartford is 1926
feet long on her load line, has maximum
beam of A feet, and, upon displacement
of 1890 tons, has mean draft of Is feet Q
inches of water. With her new, triple
expansion engines, capable of developing
an indicated horsepower of 1000, the ship
will be able easily to make IL knots an
hour, while the ample barking spread of
canvas will either augment her steaming
speed or carry her along unaided at a
comfortable jog.
The main battery will consist of 10 five
inch rapid fire rifies-a very formidable
force for ship of her type-and her sec.
ondary battery will be composed of 10 six
FOUNDER guns. AS gunnery school she
will be a most excellent craft while as a
means of protection she carries a far
heavier force than she did under Farra-
gut. Her complement will consist of 80
officers and 2S5 seamen and marines. Her
rehabilitation will have cost 1.-THE govern
ment $645, 900, and it lis an interesting
coincidence that Chief Constructor HIGH
born, upon whose earnest recommendation
she has been repaired and under whose
direction she is rebuilding, as an appren-
tice in 1858 helped to lay her down and in
part fabricated her cutwater and the rud-
der that guided her to fame The officer
that commands her will have a ship of
which he may well be proud, while the
nation will rejoice in the restoration of
a, craft teeming with the brightest memo
ries of American valor.
