Firemnn's Presence of Mind Avert
ed an Awful Calamity.
A second-class fireman serving on
one of the smaller U. S. cruisers had
his head about him when the maya
zine OF his ship was threatened a few
years ago, and he has had the much
better rating of water-tender ever
since. One OF his shipmates of the
black gang was cleaning his section OF
the after engine-room bilges one morn
Ing. His particular section of the
bilges was on the starboard side of the
extreme after part of the engine-room
Immediately aft of the engine-room
was the ships magazine. separated
from the engine-room by a steel parti-
ton. Bilges are cleaned with turpen-
tine-soaked waste. The bilge-cleaner.
too lazy to fill one Of the small tur-
pentine cans provided for the purpose,
dragged fve-gallon can of turpen-
tine to his bilge station and began
work. Smoking is strictly prohibited
in the engine-roolns Of man-of-war,
on account of the large amount Of
combustible stores necessarily slowed
below. This hilge-cleaner was a reck-
less sort of blade. however. and when
he had got his b!lge-cleaning undar
way he took out his pipe and lit it,
carelessly chucking the match in the
bilge. There was some turpentinc in
bilge, and the match, still aglow, set
1t into a fame The bilge- cleaner
jumped to his feet, and i'll doing so
ne overturned the five gallons Of tur-
pentine. Then the bilge was converted
into roaring mass OF flame that shot
to the berth-deck gratings and played
directly against the steel bulkhead
separating the engine-room from the
magazine. The careless bilge-cleaner
was scorched. and he bolted for the
spar deck yelling like a mailman. The
second-class fireman with the head on
him was the only other man in the
after engine-rCom at the time this hap
pened. He made a jump for the bilge-
covers that had been removed by his
reckless mate, and, although severely
burned while doing it, he thrust them
over the bilges. Then he seized a
wrench and knocked open one of the
intakes from the sea. letting water
directly into the bilge that was in
flames. The water came in so rapidly
that it knocked the bilge-covers off,
but it drowned the fire There was
more than foot of water in the en-
gine-rooms before the intake could
be closed again, but that was a small
matter compared with what might
have happened had the hot turpentine

At Buckroe Beach the waves We're

LIGHT ARTILLERY.
Talk Of Organizing q Battery II

Talk Of Organizing a Battery In
Hampton.
For several days there has been talk
of organizing a battery OF light artil-
lery in Hampton, and number OF
gentlemen have expressed themselves
as being in favor of the movement.
1t is doubtful whether the requisite
number of men could be secured to
form a battery in this city.
A prominent gentleman who is in
terested in the matter and desires to
see it we'll under way, had this to say
yesterday:
Yes; l for one am very anxious to
see a good battery of artillery formed
in this section. but don't think there
would be enough men willing to enlist
in it to make it a success. AT TINS
time battery OF light artillery would
be a great help to the government
forces at Fort Monroe. When the
organization of the battery is assured
if it ever isl should think that the
place to mount the guns would be on
Hampton Roads, midway between
here and Newport News. Situated
there the guns would command the
Roads to a great extent and, if by any
past Fort Monroe, could make
strong fight to keep the ship from go
ing any further. AT present if ship
passed the fort it could easily proceed
to Newport News and destroy the
shipyard, and could then go to Ports
mouth and destroy the navy yard,
after which it could run up to Rich
mond and lombard that city.
Taking everything into considera-
ton, think that q battery OF light
guns would be of great service in this
section of the State and hope that one
may be established. I have talked with
a number Of gentlemen who agree with
me that battery would be better
organization than division of the ma
val reserves. A home guard is what
we are ant to need If the troops are
