Hite faithfully clung to her Savior
and to her church. Juless provi-

her pew when services were held in
her church; hence she will be greatly
missed not only in the home but by

James.
It was The writer's privilege and
pleasure, as her pastor, during the
past eighteen months, to frequently
see and talk with sister Hite at Ter

in Christian living. She delighted
to open her heart to her pastor and

joyful zeal relate the experience of
her younger days.
She always had a word Of cn-

delighted to tell of the good deeds OF

admiration of Lowmau, Shealy,

tons, and still by the more powerful
Monterey of 1851 tens, and the Puli
tan OF s $50 that we rarely consider
their effective possibilities. There
is certainly vast difference in every
imro, tant respect, in speed, armor
armament, between these single tur-
ret, single screw relics of more than
a generation ago and their successors.
They go but five or six knots; they
carry smooth bores, where the latter
vessels have tremen deus high power
rifles: their side armor. too, is not
only thinner, but Of iron, SO that it
is much less effective than the solid
steel plates Of our day.
1t las frequently been proposed to
substitute rifles for their smooth
bores, one plan favored by the dis
tinguished bureau officers being that
of new turrets, while another was
that of removing their currents alto
gether and substituting pair OF
S-inch rifles or a single ten-inch on
the disappearing carriage, the armor
that protects the vessel being also
the protection for the gun. But
against this plan it was urged that
the side armor was so thin as to furn-
ish little protection, while at least the
tlrrets which it was proposed to re-
move were over twice as thick, be-
sides having the advantage of being
cylindrical. In short, the proposed
alterations were never carried out, it
being felt, perhaps, that the amount
OF money required would b. better
expended on new ships.
We must take these new vessels,
then, as we fud them today, for no
body would advocate alterations that
might be in progress and incomplete
when the monitors were needed
Taking them as they are, they are by
no means to be dispised as adjuncts
of harbor defence. To begin With,
five Of them are in actual use by the
naval militia, the Ajax in New Jersey,
the Commanche in California, tie
Nantucket in North Carolina, the
Passaic in Georgia and the Wyan-
dotte iu Connecticut This fact sug
gests that most all the others will be
found available, for their engine have
been examined and cared for from
time to time 1t also suggests that
the naval State MALTA can man these
vessels, so making them clear gain
to our defensive strength.
Each vessel carries two Is 5inch
guns in its turret, except the Conan
che, which, if we do not mistake, has
no gun. These guns are smooth
bores, but they throw big projectlle
which at moderate range could smash
through the sides Of an unarmored
vessel Then the extremely low free
! board of these monitors makes them
q very difficult target to hit, and the
turrets carry eleven inches of iron
armor, while their shape, as has been
said, helps to make hostile shots
glance. Again, tie mean draugbt of
the five larger monitors is only IL!

sells could not reach.
These monitors, therefore, are
clearly available as coast defenders:
being specially serviceable for tie
smaller. yet important harbors, and
particularly so in those that have less
powerful guns, or none at all. They
could show in various ways that
their Day OF usefulness is not past.
