that the channel was dangerously mined was
false, Admiral Dewey fairly beamed. From
that time until the end he seemed to give
himself over to the pleasure of being in bat
tie. Owing to our good fortune IN escaping
injuries there was no necessity of chang
ing the original plan OF attack, and almost
the only command given by the admiral was
Keep on the fve-fathom line, Calkins.'
Callxins was the navigator of the Olympia.
But it must not be thought that a posi-
ton upon the bridge of the flagship was
without its dangers. Once a solid shot
over our heads, while another passed just
beneath the timber flooring of the bridge
and scattered splinters all around the al.
miral. Others were lodging, but all he said
was Don't dodge, boys; they have all gone
past. The danger is all over Then he
went below to breakfast as calmly as though
at that.
I'm all things Admiral Dewey showed
that he was the right man for the place.
The plan of attack was all his. Just before
nearing the entrance to the bay Saturday
afternoon all the ship commanders were
called over to the flagship and given their
orders. There was no conference, as so
many have said. The admiral made the
plan and ordered its execution. Moreover,

ments during all the hours of action and all
the time seeing to every point personally.
