And the surgeons sat inactive as each

When the f,s.iade was DER
When the guns had ceased to roar
And the calm of quiet followed the COM

Fighting Bob, with wag OF head,
Sneered disgustedly and said:
"They didn't hit a damthing but the
ocean,
With a scream Of eagle fierceness, like n
sharp Sagastian swear,
Every shell but stabbed a puncture in
the Santiagan air.
Which created the impression with our
gallant yankee tars
That the dons were only having target
practice at the stars.
Long and loud the canons beloved from
the forts along the shore,
The reverber, ting echoes dying with a
sullen roar,
While we an. wered them with vigor and
so quite effectively
That their fonts were soon converted into
tangled up debris.
Then VIII n ceased the frightful noise

Who had wo: ! ed the heated guns with
such devotion,
And he said with knowing wink;
They are dandies, / don't think
They didn't hit damthing but the

What brutal sound, the report OF
Capt. Gridley's disablement has. He
was examined by the medical men "and
condemned" rs would be an old hulk
He was gallant sailor. He had full
charge of the Olympia" in the Manila
fight. Admiral Dewey directed the feet
but the handling Of the individual ships
was left to the several commanders. 1t
was Gridley's broadside from the "Olym-
pia" that sunk the Spanish Admiral's
flagship. He was brave and true man
and it is pity that he passed on to his
great promotion before he knew that he
had been named for higher place in the
navy. His body is coming home for
sepulcher. On the stone above him
should be embossed: He fought the
