The Monocacy and Palos then ran up
and shelled the Koreans out of their
works. When the ships returned to the
rendezvous, Rodgers wanted to take
speedy vengeance for the insult to the
flag, although not life had been taken
by the Koreans. At the request of Mr..
Low he waited ten days for an apology.
Having no sign from the Koreans at
the end Of the time, Admiral Rodgers
dispatched the same vessels and launch
es, re-enforced by 750 marines, to tho
scene Of the outrage. AS the ships and
boats moved up the river the bands
played the popular sailor airs of Amer
lea, the crews alternately singing and
cheering. The marines landed OH the
mud fat, where the water then stood
waist deep, and at the same time the
ships opened OH the forts.
In the way of the land force there
was line of works well manned, but
the Koreans in them did not stand for
attack. The commander of this force,
Admiral Kimberly (retired), pushed On
up the height, his men dragging along

he threw out pickets and bivouacked his
men to await the dawn of day. Early
next morning the ships opened on the
second line, and the marines charged
directly upon the works.
At long range the Koreans were poor
marksmen, but when the marines leaped
the parapets they found them good fight

American leader, was shot and then

fort and its walls and bitches showed
the terrible effect of the vigorous she'll
ing from the Monocacy's guns which
had preceded the land attack, Bodies
mangled by exploding shells lay scatter
ed in the bitches and pits and over the
parade ground in the center of the fort.
The commander in chief had killed
himself in chaGrin at the loss of his
stronghold and was found in the river

in command. When he was lifted by
the marines for burial, he could no len

yell which was unmistakably that OF q

caused some of the symptoms which
helped on the ruse.
The capture of this work decided the
fight Hosting the stars and stripes, the
marines christened it Fort Palos. The at.
tack came none to soon, for the ten days
of grace had been passed by the Koreans
in preparations for war. Soldiers were
marching to the river to repeat upon

ing the end OF the course the Wyoming
| turned and sailed back When she got
through, the iron steamer was a wreck,
the bark sinking and the brig disabled
| for action. Captain Macdougal then
tossed few shells into the town of
Simonoseki and gave the batteries
parting salute.
The action lasted one hour and ten
| minutes. About 30 shells struck the
Wyoming. Of her crew four were kill.
ed and six wounded Six of the victims
were native Americans and three were
Irishmen. Captain Macdougal had the
true Yankee spirit Of daring and orig
inality. He was in his prime and had
been trained under the heroes of 1919.
For years after the visit Of the Wyom-
ing to the strait of Simonoseki the
inhabitants had hut one expression to
recall the event. 1t was, "Oh, those
great gunsl" In japanese history the
stfair is known as "the first deed of
arms in Japan"
The Hermit Nation, which caused
the broil between Japan and China, has
also had her thrashing at the hands of
Uncle Sans sailors. 1t took place in
1871 and was administered as punish
ment for barbarous outrage on the
American flag, the capture and destruc-
tion of the trading vessel General Sher-
man, followed by the massacre in cold
blood of all the officers and crew. When
captured, the i'll starred ship was sail
ing in Ping Yang river under the flag
Of this nation. Diplomatic parley ended
as usual in the authorities shirking the
responsibility, The matter rested until
Captain John Rodgers, "a war hero and
the son of gallant commander in the
Asiatic squadron. That was late in
1870.
Rodgers orders were to make show
Of force in Korean waters to help bring
about a treaty for the protection of
American seamen. His fleet of six yes
sells entered the river Han, accompanied
by the United States minister to China,
Mr.. +. f. Low. Deputations went ON
board the flagship and stated that the
Koreans wished to be let alone and
would have no dealings with foreigners.
They were told that the feet wished
merely to survey the river. At the end
of week Rodgers sent the warships
Monocacy and Palos, preceded by
launches, up the river to carry out the
survey.

ing fiotilla were lightly manned by
armed sailors, and each carried boat
bowitzer. They steamed ahead of the
ships, and at a certain bend in the river
near which the Koreans had strong
fort they were fired upon by at least a
score of guns. The fire was Intellectual
because the guns could not be shifted
as the targets moved on up the river.

missiles down from them on the decks
of their enemies, or stones, quicklime
and Greek fire were hurled upon the
heads of the opposing crews. In the
earlier days the top was at the ex-
treme summit of the mast but as ships
got bigger and masts loftier it was
placed lower down.
The next step was also rendered nee
essary by the growth of masts and
spars, for when heavily rugged ships,
such as the Great Harry and the ships
which took part in the Armada fight,
came to be built, it was necessary to
enlarge the circumference of the top
to give support to the shrouds which
upheld the topmast From this period
the top as a fighting platform disap-
peared till recently, except in the war
galleys of the Mediterranean and Bal
tic. which had a curious basket top at
their masthead, known as a gable"
The military mast of to-day is con,
structed primarily to carry guns, and
secondly for signaling purposes, for it
must be remembered that in all cases
in which ships have been equipped with
fighting tops since their very first in
ception, the primary duty of the mast
the propulsion of the ship
Some of the masts are supplied with
an upper top for the electric light, a
peculiarly shaped edifice below to en-
able three quick firing guns to be dis
charged right ahead, and d species of
coming tower below, from which the
Captain can overlook the smoke clouds
and see to direct his ship in action.
The later types are all constructed with
much the same ideas.
Some have a look out or coming
tower, others have not, but all have
three or six FOUNDER quick-firing guns
and electric light projectors, and one
or two lighter machine guns in addi
tion.
The small caliber rapid-fre and ma
chine guns employed in tops are sup
ported by rifiemen, and in every fight
their work of clearing the guns, sweep
ing the decks and superstructure, and
of picking off the officers and leading
men is to say the least hazardous. In
the galley days the military tops were
fairly Well protected, but during the sail
era the topmen handling the swivel
pieces and deck rakers, and forming a
special corps of musketeers had no
protection, except what was given by
network of mattress filled hammocks.
1t would take big projectile to bring
a mast down, but then, if it did, great
would be the fall thereof And think
of the poor devils that would come
crashing down with it! And think of
them even if the mast doesn't come
down, perched up there, living targets
for shot and shell. The thin plating is
of no avail against anything larger
than rife bullet, and q small shell
might pass harmlessly over the heads
of the men IN an open top which in a
closed one would have been burst by
the irCn sides, and scatter death and
destruction with.-New York Herald

THE MILITARY MAST.
NO OTHER POST so FULL OF
DEADLY PERIL.
The Tars Assigned to Duty There
Know That They Play Hide
and Seek With Death.

The heroes of the present war will
| be the men detailed to duty in the mill
tary masts, or fighting tops, of our big
battleShipS. The tOpman's position will
| be one of unspeakable peril. When he
goes up into one of those dread places
he must realize that his chances OF
coming down alive are very Slight Ex-
posed to the full fury of the enemy s
fire, with scarcely any protection, and
with the possibility of having the entire
mast shot away, his is a position per-
haps the most dangerous in all modern
naval warfare.
The steel barbettes of the present
time, save in certain battleships, where
an overhead shield is carried, give a
protection more apparent than real
more picturesque than practical. And
While the military top crews have the
advantage of seeing something of the
Scrimmage, yet they present too inVit-
ing a mark to the enemy and have
stations which in battle are pretty sure
to be untenable from the heat and
smoke.
The small arms men have frequent
practice aboard ship, and. considering
the difficulties of the environment, are
good marksmen. 1t is no easy task to
fire from a platform placed at the fob
end of d pendulum, swinging irregular
ly, and the results attained testify to
the value of the drill and to the phys
ique Of the individual.
on the larger battleshipS the military
mast are hollow, and access to the
fighting tops is gained through the in
| terror The ammunition is also passed
up inside. In the smoke and CRIME of
battle one can we'll realize what hell
these places would be.
Another thing that must be consider
ed is the fact that this will be the
United States navy's first practical test
Of the modern war ship. The last ten
years have brought about d greater
and more sudden change in the out
ward appearance of nen-of-war than
has ever been recorded in the history of
naval affairs This is in the main due
to the almost complete baniShment of
sails, yards, and the more or less intri-
cate rigging necessitated by their use,
in favor of military masts, or, in some
cases, mere signal poles.
The rig of the ironclad battleship of
ten years ago differed in no very essen
tial particular from that of the ships
of long ago, but now, in a single de-
cade, all is changed. Before the change
some progress had been made in utiliz-
ing the ordinary tops in action by plac-
ing riflemen or machine guns in them,
in order to direct a plunging fire on the
enemy's deck. 1t will be remembered
that it was a shot fired from the miz-
zentop of the Redoubtable that laid
Nelson low in the moment of victory.
AS a matter of fact military tops, al
though greatly improved as now con-
structed on our battleships, are by no
means new in naval warfare. They are
represented in the drawings and cary
ings of Egyptian and Asiatic warships
nearly two thousand years before
Christ. In mediaeval days the fighting
top was a recognized part Of ship of
war. Archers and singers poured their
