CAPTAIN DEwEY'S GOODNESS.
Interesting Incident in the Career of
the Hero OF Mnniin.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
A good story is told of Commodore
Dewey, which illustrates not only his
Coolness and judgment i'm a moment of
peril but also the high regard i'm which
he is held by the men under his COM
mand 1t was during the spring of 1887,
when Commodore Dewey, then a cap
tain, had command of the flagship
Pensacola, a sailing vessel in the
Mediterranean. While en- route from
Athens to the coast of Spain the Ves-
sci encountered a series of short but
violent squalls, which not only greatly
retarded her progress, but proved in
tensely wearing on the crew.
one night, when the inconsistency OF
the weather was particularly annoy
ing, the officer of the watch happened
to be a young lieutenant who was very
unpopular with the men. being what
is termed in nautical vernacular a
"BuCko." Several times during the
watch all hands had been called to
shorten sail, and they were naturally
very much exhausted from racing
back and forth from the decks to the
upper rigging. Finally the order was
again given to make sail, and the tired
sailors set about to put it into exc
CutiOn. But, after the work had been
accomplished and all hands had come
down from aloft, it occurred to the
officer that the men had not exhibited
sufficient alaCrity to suit him, and, ad-
vanCing to the break of the poop,
speaking trumpet in hand. he thun-
dered torrent of epithets at the crew,
following it up with an order to lay
alOft and go through the tactics of
shortening sail by way of drll. Tn
fortunately, however he had failed to
reckon upon the inborn spirit of the
American sailors, and right here their
fOrbCaranCe forsOOk them and not
man of their number made move
ment to execute the OverbearinE order.
Wildly fourishing his trumpet, the
now frcnzied martinez threatened and
cursed and stOrmed, but to no avail;
the blood of the crew was up, and they
cursed back, ridiculed, laughed him to
scorn. Suddenly the sea and sky We're
seen to grow darker to Windward, and
it was clear that another squall was
imminent.
Alive to the danger to which the
ship, with all her canvas spread, was
exposed, the lieutenant retreatcd from
his threatening attitude and urged, on
treated, implored the men to save the
vessel, but i'm vain-they had been
driven to sheer desperation and only
scCffed at him the more. Onward came
the tempest, it's tierCcness foretold by
the livid shafts of lightning which re-
peatedly flashed from its inky depths.
The lieutenant in despair, had sunk to
his knees, with his face in his hands,
awaiting the inevitable doom. Sud
denly from out the cabin COmpani" 4
way a form emerged, 1t was the cap
tain. In an instant his glance had
taken in all-the approaching storm,
the defiant crew, the supplant Off
Ger, the Tapping of sails, and then,
clear and loud, rang out the order:
"All hands shorten SAIL That was all.
But it was sufficient. Before the laGt

RAINY MAY.
Official Meteorological Report for This
Section Was Finished Last
Night.

II. f. Paine. the local weather OBJ
server, finished his report last evening
for May, and today will forward it to
the meteorological department at
ashin9ton. Many interesting facts
are contained in a comparison of the
weather of the last two years.
The hottest day so far this year was
May 10. The thermometer that day
registered 81 degrees and fell at night
to 40 degrees. On the 14th and 18th Of
the month, the average mean tempcra-
ture was 5S degrees. while year ago
the middle OF May weather was 4J and
eighty-seven one hundredth degrees.
In 1885 it was very warm at that sea-
son, reaching an average of G3 degrees.
Last month there We're fourteen rainy
days. The total rainfall was inches
and fortY-seven one hundrCdths Of an
inch. \ year ago in May there were
hut ten rainy days, and the amount
that fell was 4 inches and cighty-two
one hundredths, a thirty-ffth part of
an inch more than this year
The heaviest rainstnrm last month
was on the evening of the Goth, when
ninety-Ainc one hundredths of an inch
fell. The result of that terrific, but
DIle1 SlOTlu caused lldUS NUSllOulS
about the city.
on May 49, 1897, one inch and ninety
seven one hundredths of rain fell, but
the damage was slight. This is &C.
counted for in the fact that it raired
steadily and did not come down in tor
rents at intervals.
The maximum mean temperature for
last month was 81 and ninety-threc one
hundrcdths degrees. and the minimum
was as degrees.
There We're only eight clear days, five
parity cloudy days and eighteen cloudy
days. The prevailing wind was south
westward. and there was not any frost,
hail or slect, or aurora borcalis.
Six times durinG the month rain fell
two days Consecutivcly, and a remark
able fact is that in the eastern and
western states more rain fell last month
than in any other month IN many
years. while n this section The amount
