Mrs. Cornelia Miller Chadwick, the
wife of the gallant captain OF the ar
mored cruiser New York, is as ingen-
ious as she is humane. Prior to the
opening OF hostilities between TINS
country and Spain she paid a visit TO
her husband at Key West. where the
flagship OF Acting Admiral Simpsons
squadron was then stationed. She was.
of course, shown over the ship. although
she had peered into every nook and
corner a dozen times before. But this
was the first time she had seen the gi-
gantic fighting machine in her war
paint, ready to do battle with the
enemies of her country. Like all wo-
men. Mrs. Chadwick noticed things"
One OF these things was that when
the vessel was cleared for action,
the battle matches screwed down and
the water tight compartments closed. IL
was very difficult to move from one part
of the ship 20 another, so much SO that
in time of action the carrying Of the
wounded to a place where the surgeon
| could give them attention became a Sc
| rious problem. She saw that the use Of
