The most perilous position on board
a man-of-war when in action Is that
occupied by the captain. On battle
ships and cruisers his place is In the
cylindrical box Of steel placed just
under the bridge. well forward. 1t is
known as the coming tower. The ar
NOR surrounding this o is ordinarily
thick enough to resist the penetration
of heavy projectiles. 1t contains speak
ing tubes and electrical wires. whereby
he communicates with the gunners, en-
gineers and helmsmen. Sometimes,
also. wires are laid. 20 that he 10 able
to fire the gum when they have been
sighted on the enemy.
The field OF vision from the coming
tower Is limited to what a be seen
through a little horizontal slit on q
level with the eyes. In point OF re-
sponsibility there is no position in the
world to compare with that occupied
by the man who stands in the tower
and directs every movement Of the YES
sci.
After the conflict once begins much
OF the fire OF the enemy is concen-
trated on him, and there 10 a constant
hail of iron and steel on the little boz
In which he IL Gagged. Shells burst In
every direction around him: n to
this are added the roa Of the forced
blast under the engines. the tremen-
dous reports Of the heavy pieces and
the shrill chorus OF the rapid-hre and
machine guns.
Amid all Of this Internal din the cap
tain must keep his nerve and control
the tremendous forces under his COM
mand. and his decisions must be made
on the instant.
There Is no place for the admiral on
the modern man-of-war ana no rigging
in which he may place himself. as In
olden days. II has been proposed to
build a separate tower for him or take
him off the flagship during action and
place him on a small. swift vessel,
which could run among the ships COM

That phrase about the age Of chivairy

II Is fair to say that Cervera's
was manly-it was chivalrous on
the part OF an enemy In war, as Dew
ey's message ia the defeated admiral
at Manila was.
BY the way. Cervera's personality is
Just now to the American
country's press IL speaking
Of him Al a man whose ability IL en-
to recognition. In spite Of the
fact that the best he could do was to
get shut In. He IL descended Of a Span
ish family of high rank. He Ii fifty
eight years old. He has wealth: he IL
a man of superior ability in

naval warfare. He has seen
years of service; he is a famil-
lar with the Cuban coast as schley is
with the waters Of Hampton Roads.
He IL the ranking commanding e a ad-

he expected to get out Of Santiago,
equipped for farther cruising, before
our feet could shut him in; doubtless.
the truth is known, Cervera will
shown to hav been the victim of
SPANS official neglect and unprepared-
ness, just as Admiral Montejo. who
commanded at Manila, admits that he
was.
When Cervera decided to stay
tropped, he may have had in mind
SPANS distressing losses in men and
ships at Manila. The Spaniards' loss
OF life there was hardly less than a
thousand-that is only a few score less
than the figures that sum up SPANS
historic defeat at Trafalgar, ninety
three years ago.

The chase around the island Of Cuba,
between the fleets Of Sampson and

Cervera. reminds old navy men OF the

that elusive ship had struck Galveston
and destroyed the Hatteras. There were

Then the admirals OF three other

around the western point. But he did
not see the Keystone State. He did meet
the Vanderbilt midway between Glen

ing senior oficer, sent Captain Baldwin
In the Vanderbilt to ind the Keystone
State while he proceeded to Maysi
point. Then somebody told him that
the Alabama was at Porto Rico. and on
rushed the San Jacinto with frantic but
numbering speed.
The Vanderbilt found the Keystone
State at C~ienfuegos. n from there the
two decided to journey together. They
stopped at Key West for coal just as
they do now. then mad for Jamaica
and finally reached Porto Rico. where
they found Captain Wilkes furious. He
had learned a day or two before that
the Alabama had put in at Martinique.
d~ischarging her prisoners from h Hat
teras, under Captain Blake, and. after
filing up with coal. had peacefully
sailed away for the Azores and hence
for the Cape Of God Hope.
Much may be said Of Cervera's cum
ming and resourcefulness in eluding the
enemy. but after all, Semmes in his day
was the Fox of the Deep. He relates IN
his book that after that Galveston cpl
sode he made q straight shoot for Mar
Unique, along h north coast of Yuca
tan and Brazil. and never once came
nearer than 500 miles Of Cuba, and never
saw anything in the shape OF a sail ex-
