trast yet, the one between the deep re-
ligious feeling of the commander and
the popular superstition attaching to
his ship. The Texas has been account
ed the Jonah of the United States
navy. Ever since she was launched at
the Norfolk navy yard in 1892 she has
had the very worst of luck-until Capt.
Philip was assigned to her, less than a
year ago. Even while the Texas was
building several men were fatally hurt
while at work upon her, and one me-
chanic plunged to death from her
deck.
Her engines were burned in a fire
at the Richmond iron works, and her
bronze propeller was broken, and her
first trip. Every turn she took she
seemed to go awry. She swamped a
schooner in her first dock trial, one Of
her turrets very nearly sank her while
at the dock, and while dry-docked in
November, 1895, 1t was found that she
had structural weakness that cost
$125. 900 to remedy.
Every one of the Texas trial trips
was unfortunate. In one Of them her
eccentric strap got hot, In another her
condensers would not work, in another
her wheels wobbled and in fourth
her steering gear was broken. She
lost one of her anchors atTompkins-
vile and had other minor mishaps
without end.
After this accident Capt. Glass was
relieved from the command OF the
Texas and Capt. Philip was assigned to
her. Even then she made one more at
