A few minutes later the shore bat

ship shot that nearly hit the battery
In Manila. But soon the gunners at
Cavite got better range, and the shells
began to strike near us or burst close
aboard from both the batteries and the
Spanish vessels.
The heat was intense. Men stripped
OH all clothing except their trousers.
As the Olympia drew nearer all was
as silent on board as if the ship had
been empty, except for the whirr of
blowers and the throb of the engines.
Suddenly shell burst directly over
us.
From the boatswain's mate at the

This watchword was caught up at the

too, was hot.
One shot struck the Baltimore and
passed clean through her, fortunately
hitting no one. Another ripped up her
main deck, disabled a six-inch gun and
exploded box of three-pounder am
munition, wounding eight men. The
Olympia was struck abreast the gun in
the wardroom by shell which burst
outside, doing little damage.
The signal halyards were cut from
Lieut.. Brumby's hand on the after
bridge. A shell entered the Boston S
port quarter and burst in Ensign
Doddridge's stateroom, starting hot
fire, and fire was also caused by a shell
which burst in the port hammock n ct
ting. Both these fires were quickly put
out.
Another shell passed through the
Roston's foremast just in front of Capt
Wildes, on the bridge.
hlLcr having Iudut IOur runs along
the Spanish line, finding the chart in !.
correct, Lieut.. Calkins. the Olympia's
navigator, told the commodore he be-
ieved he could take the ship nearer
the enemy, with lead going to watch
the depth of water. The flagship start
ed over the course for the fifth time,
running within 1000 yards Of the Span
ish vessels.
At this range even six-pounders were
effective, and the storm of shells poured
upon the unfortunate Spanish began
to show marked results.
Three of the enemy's vessels were
seen burning ard their fire slackened

Dewey decided to give the men break

The roar of all the fagship's five

hard at work, and we could see that

The Olympia was now ready to begin
the fight.
Commodore Dewey, his chief of staff,
Commander Lamberton, an aide and
myself, with Executive Officer Lieut..

"You may fire when ready, Gridley,"
said the Commodore, and at Al minutes
past five o'clock, at distance of $500
yards, the starboard eight-inch gun in
the forward turret roared forth COM

Presently similar guns from the Bal
timore and the Boston sent 250-pound
shells hurtling toward the Castillo and
the Reina Cristina.
The Spaniards seemed encouraged to
fire faster. knowing exact y our dis
tance, while we had to guess theirs.
Their ship and shore guns were max

The piercing scream of shot was va
ried often by the bursting of time-fuse
shells, fragments Of which would lash
the water like the shrapnel or cut our
hull and rigging.
One large shell that was coming
straight at the Olympia's forward
bridge fortunately fell less than 100 feet
short. One fragment cut the rigging
exactly over the heads of Lamberton,
Rees and myself.
Another struck the bridge gratings
in line with it, A third passed just un-
der Commodore Dewey and gouged a
hole in the deck. Incidents like these
were plentiful.
