The Mates A giiity and Quick witted-
ness Save the Ship.

An officer of the United States Navy

the more so, because, without knowing
It, came very near going up into the
air i'm small bits on this last squadron
cruise. We We're at heavy gun prac-
tice at sea, and but for the quickness of
gunner's mate would never have re-
turned. AS you probably know, the
heavy guns In the turrets are fired by
electricity, the gun being discharged
simply by pressing a button. The Off
Ger In command of the forward turret
on our ship during rapid-tiring practice
was just about to press the button to
fire one of our big guns, when gun
ner's mate was seen to grab at some
thing on the wall of the turret and then
fall In heap on the floor. The officer
pressed the button, but the gun was not
discharged. When the mate came to
he was asked what had happened, and
he Informed the officer that the breech
of the gun had not been locked and that
wires forming the electric firing cir
cult. When he saw that the officer was
prepared to fire the gun and at the
same time observed that the breech of
the gun was not locked, the only thing
that occurred to him to prevent the gun
being discharged was to destroy the cir
cult. which he did promptly and effec-
lively. When all this occurred there
was charge of $50 pounds of powder
In the gun, another charge of the same
size in the turret ready TO be served,
and the passageway leading to the pow
der magazine was wide open. But for
the quickness of the gunner's mate the
gun would have been discharged, the
breech block would have blown out in
side the turret, the gases from the
burning powder would probably have
ignited the charge lying in the turret,
this explosion would have ignted the
powder In the magazine, and the
chances are that the whole ship, crew
and all would have gone up in the air.
thought that has occurred to me is
this: Suppose the accident had occur
red, what do you imagine the verdict
of board of inquiry as to the cause of
the loss of the ship would have been?
Since this experience the department
has adopted electrical means to prevent
the discharge of any of the large guns
