Meanwhile, the monitor Terror, lying in closer than the others and failing to see the signal, continued to pour in iron messengers. Men gathered on the gun decks to watch the progress of the nght. Merkle came up from below and was in the act of putting on his coat when shell plunged through the air and exploded directly in front of him. One piece struck Merkle on the right elbow, tearing out the forearm. This occurred after the battle was over.
 Three men from the greatest of bat tlesh1ps, the Oregon, were among the patients of the Solace-who, by the way, have been transferred to the Marine Hospital in Brooklyn-Louis Upson, P. J. Lynch and AIonzo Gartley. They were not the only ones to suffer from the heart reaking voyage of the Oregon, but they were the most seri-. ously i'll, after the Lattleship reached Key West, and it was deemed advisable to send them to more favorable eli mate. No men are prouder of the grand work of their ship than they.
 One of the remarkable cases brought by the ambulance ship is William Fay Tor, Washington boy, and first-class apprentice on the cruiser New York. Taylor's recovery is the most marvellous of any of those remarked upon by the naval surgeon. One day, soon after the bombardment of Matanzas, through which the men on the New York passed without the slightest injury, a revolver dropped from the belt of Boatswain Mullen, and exploded. The bullet passed through Taylor's right arm at the el- bow, entered the abdomen passed up through the liver, grazed the lun~ and came out through the left shoulder An operation for laparotomy was per formed and Taylor recovered although, naturally. he is still suffering from the effects of his multiple wound and the operation.
