gray, the fighting color of the Navy Over
the bow on each side projects the muzzle
of 5-inch gun, and twelve 6-pounders
are ranged broadside. Perched on the
stern rail ars two tiny Colt automatic
guns, ready to send out their hail of steel
bullets at the rate of 400 a minute. Two
big searchlights stand forward on the up
per deck, and steel doors conceal the i'm
mense torpedo tubes placed amidship on
either side.
Thirty men were employed yesterday in
loading the ammunition. The shells are
packed in black wooden boxes; and were
stored safely in the magazines fore and
