in "Roughirg it in Siberia

THE drivers perch was empty; and
just then stumbled over one of the
horses, which was lying buried up to

had fallen from his seat, and hat the
horses had wandered from the track.

LAST MAN ON THE MAINE.
Capt. SiEsbee Requested His officers
to Precede Him on the
Wrecked Ship.

Capt. Charles d. Sigsbee in his Per
sonaI Narrative of the Maine" in the
Century, speaking of the scene follow
ing the explosion, says:
1t was hard blow to be obliged 1o
leave the Maine; none Of us desired 10
leave while any part of her poop re
manned above water. We waited until
satisfied that she was resting on the
bottom Of the harbor Lieut.. Comman
der Wainwright then whispered to me
that lie thought the forward ten-iuch
magazine had been blown up into the
burning material amidship and might
explode al any time, with further dis
;,strous effects. He was then directed
10 get everybody into the boats, which
was done. 1t was an easy opera ton:
one had only to step directly from the
deck into the boat There was still
some delay to make sure that the ships
stern had grounded. and still more be
cause of the extreme politeness of the
officers, who considerably offered me a
Steadying hand to step into the boat
Lieut.. Commander Wainwright stood
on one side and Lieut. Holman on the
other; each offered me hand ! sHp-
gested the propriety of my being the
last to leave. and requested them to
precede me, which they did. There was
favorable comment later in the press
because ! left last It is fact that
was the last 10 leave, which was only
proper; that is to say, it would have
been improper otherwise; but virtually
all left last. The fine conduct Of those
who came under my observation that
night was conspicuous and touching.
The heroism of the wounded men did
not see at the time. but afterward good
reports of their behavior were very
common. The patient vdy in which
they bore themselves left no doubt that
they added new honors to the service
when the Maine went down" ="
