His name does not appear on the

But that is enough. and his deed
should be sufficient to find for him a

One instant of startled horror.
Then, without hesitation, without
trepidation, with stern, set jaws and
fierce devoted determination on every
line of face and form:
Turn off the forced draught" he
cried.
Good God, Huntley! What are you
going to do?"
Bank the fire Quick"
Great God! It's certain DEATH"
For one. Unless for all! Turn off
the draught, bank the fire."
The orders were carried out fever
ishly.
Now a plank"
And before they could stop him this
hero had flung the plank into the fur
mace, right on the top of the black
coal with which it was banked, and
had himself climbed and crawled over
the raging mass, far back TO where
the steam was rush like some kissing
devil from the loosened socket.
For three minutes he remained in
side that fearful place and then the
work was done-the ship was saved
and his friends drew him out of the
door, the forced draught went to its
work again and in an instant the FIR
mace was once more a raging hell!
But what of Huntley?
Scorched, scalded, insensible, well
nigh dead, he lay upon the iron floor

stood his mates, dOusing him with

the Boat and Crew. ~

The duty of the boiler-makers on
,arships is of the most dangerous ma
,re, In action, between actions and
ant. of action the repairs that they are
allied upon at a moments notice to
effect are sufficient to send chill Of
fear through the hearts OF most men.
They will creep right inside boiler or
furnace which has but a few moments
before been full of boiling liquid or
red hot Goals. They will screw up
cuts and fasten bolts or repair leak
ig pipes or joints in places that other
men would consider impossible to ap-
proach. While the ships big guns are
making the vessel tremble and the enc
nys shells are bursting in every dl-
rection, these men, with positively
reckless fearlessness, will venture
down in the bowels Of the fighting
ship, amid roaring machinery, kissing
steam and flaming fires, to rectify an
accident which unrepaired might send
the ship and all her human freight to
tho bottom more surely and more
quickly than shell or shot from the
best guns of the enemy. These men
are heroes.
Most people in the United States
will remember that when the Bancroft
went to work to batter the walls OF
San Juan, for some reason she had to
slip out of action and her place was
taken by the little gunboat Castine,
which without delay opened her bat
teries upon the fort.
Very few people. even on the vessel
herself, know what a close shave she
and her crew had Of paying a perma-
nent visit TO the dreaded haven OF
Dayy Jones.
The Castine carried on board three
OF these boilcr-makers already referred
TO- Fish, another, and one Huntley OF
Norfolk, Va The Castine went into
action under full steam. her triple
screws revolving at the fullest speed
her 2,l99 horsepower could make them
spin. and her battery of eight guns
started her quivering with excitement
aud the fierce delight of battle. The
furnaces were heated almost to white
heat and the forced draught was urg-
ing the flames to greater heat, the boil
Ing water TO higher production Of
