Ensign Bagley," he continued after
a little, was lying at the bottom badly
torn to pieces, and the bodies of the
other three were OH top of his.

Saved by the Hudson.
Then O'Hearn told Of the brave con-
duct of the gunboat Hudson's crew in
getting the Winslow out of her perilous
situation. That story was fully told
on the day after the battle.
O'Hearn is thirty-fve years old and
has served eighteen years in the United
States navy. He went on the WinsloW
last January and had previously served
on the Puritan, the Katalldin, Texas
and other vessels of the navy.
While on the Puritan in the Brook
Ign navy yard last July, he prevented
a catastrophe by saving the ship from
being blown up when the boiler room
was on fire. For this act of bravery
he was given a medal, which he no'y
wears.
He will return to some place in the
navy after few weeks rest in Brook
