The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1898-07-12

Commodore Schley's flagship, the
Brooklyn, was hit forty five times in the
Santiago naval battle, the fire of the
enemy being concentrated upon it in the
hope that the Brooklyn would be disabled
and that thus few of the Spanish fleet
might escape. The Brooklyn was not
disabled because she was not hit. The
Spaniards shot well enough. The recent
claim of an American navy officer that
the American boats are the stoutest in the
world and that they could sink British or
any other boats in an even fight would
seem not to be out of the way in view of
the insignificant damage done the Brook
Ign by Spanish shells. There is no longer
doubt that we have the best ships and
that we have the best gunners in the
world has long been known.
