ON AToRPEDo BOAT DURING THE
WAR.

When the U. S. torpedo boat Porter
started across to Havana on April %,
10 was roLgh-rough even for the
Gulf Stream-and that day and night
showed that the life on board was
going to be a struggle with nature-a
test OF physical endurance. The
Porter's motion in such sharp sea as
runs nearly all the time off the coast
of Cuba was, to say the least, uncom-
Portable. The roll was from thirty TO
forty five degrees each way, aud
twenty-five times minute, with
occasionally an extra roll thrown in,
which went beyond the registering
limit Of the indicators, and made one
wonder why the boat took the trouble
to come back, IL seemed so much
easier just to go on all the way round.
To rest and sleep in such conditions
was very ditlicult, and only possible
when physical exhaustion overcame
every other feeling, aud when the
sleep was so broken that it illtitted
one to renew the exacting duties of
handling the delicate mechanisms Of
the boats, or exercise the cool judg-
ment and instant decision demanded
by the service.
The discomfOrts and the trials
borne by the crews Of these little craft
during this period will never be
known, nor could be appreciated by
any persons but those who we're in the
service. Some idea of them can be
cleaned from the article on "Torpe-
do. boat Service" that Lieutenant j.
G. Fremont, U. S. N, commanding
the Porter, contributes to Harper's
Magazine for November.
In addition to the OF her sufferings
of the men. the heat below deck was
such that no one went there except on
duty. The life was on deck; those on
duty at their posts we're on their feet;
the remainder, II not struggling with
their very simple meals, we're trying
to get some sleep, stretched out and
wedged In between torpedo tubes and
rails, or in some place that prevented
sliding around. Such was the life on

were the sword belt, crossing his breast

aids, rubies and b%rilliants; a transparent
yellow shield of r%hinoceros hide, with

OF stiff gold lace, with a crimson thread
running through the gold; bracelets of
the dainty workmanship known as
Jeypore enamel thickly jeweled, which
he wore on his wrists and arms, and
there were strings of dull, uncut stones
about his neck.

discussion about where the prairie dog gets

and does not know what 1t is to have an
