Washington Letter In Chicago Record.
Hobson was with the squadron not for
the purpose of participation In the hostli-
ties, but as a marine architect to study and
report upon any defects in the construction
of the vessels that might be developed dur
ing an engagement or voyages.
A constructor is d sort of supernumerary
aboard a fighting ship, and is not assign
ed to regular duty, although he has the
run Of the whole squadron in order that he
may be free at all times to inspect the ma
chinery or the hulls of the vessels. Those
who know him say that they would have
supposed Hobson to be the last man in the
fleet to be selected for duty Of this kind,
which required the greatest possible cour-
age, nerve and GOODNESS.
Experts can not imagine any greater test
of a mans self-control than to run an old
craft like the Merrimac between two
ranges of batteries, which were hurting
tons of metal at 1t and then slow down in
the channel, run the nose of the vessel to-
ward the bank, drop an anchor, walt for
her TO swing around with the tide until her
huh was in just the proper position for the
blockade, and then to touch off tor2edoes
that would sink her at exactly the proper
spot II would take unusual skill and cool
ness to do a job of that kind under the
most peaceful circumstances, and one can
scarcely imagine the degree of self-control
necessary to carry it out successfully while
under a calling fire Ike that which must
have poured in upon the old Merrimac.
