KNIGHT GOT THERE
How the Herald's War Correspondent
Started for Manila

John o. Knight, who left the city as The
Herald's special correspondent at Manila,
showed at the first that he was of the right
stuff for such duty, for he overcame what
to any one else than a reporter. would have
been an insurmountable difficulty. By
mischance the other day, which he could
not prevent, he missed getting on board Of
the Sydney, the vessel on which arrange
ments had been made for his transporta-
ton, but, nothing daunted, he boarded the
Australia. When she was about passing
through the Gate, General Anderson, who
was in command of her, found Mr.. Knight,
and, though friendly enough he could find
no place for him, and SO told him he would
have to get on board of his own boat. or go
ashore with the pilot. The latter knight
did not contemplate for a moment, but he
had to jump on the pilot boat, where he told
his sad story to the crew, and at once Sc
cured their sympathy and assistance.
They ran up with the Sydney, which by
that time was sixteen miles outside of the
heads. There was danger that the men
on the boat would not understand what or
who Knight was, and so refuse him permis-
sion to come board, so the pilot captain
waited until the Sydney's pilot was just
leaving, when the little vessel bearing
knight hauled alongside; the war cores
pondent made daring jump for the dang
ling ladder. with his grip in his hand, made
the jump all right. and the pilot boat at once
sheered off, before she could be stopped and
ordered to take the man on board again.
The friendly crew watched through their
glasses the young man make his way on
deck. and they describe his smile of triumph
as something far more beatific than the
most divine expression of joy ever pictured
by Raphael of Correggio on the counten-
ance of an angel. Johnny" is far on his
way to the islands, and The Herald readers
will soon have the pleasure of reading his
graphic and pungent letters from the
scene of Dewey's victory.
