His face was no longer ruddy, but pale
with wrath, while his hands, bruised

though without doing any damage,
was marked by a red and yellow flag,
which could easily be seen in the clear
morning atmosphere. The staff from
which the flag floated was fixed in a
solid pier of masonry, the top of which
showed above the redOubt that protecr-
ed the Spanish gun and gunners. Blue
was preparing to take a crack at the
flag when the order came. He appealed
to Lieutenant Commander Delehanty,
who was in command Of the Suwanee,
to let him go on and cut the flag down
Delehanty's desire to see the thing
done was as keen as Blues to do it,
He asked permission Of the flagship to
go ahead.
Cease firing" was the pcremptory
signal repeated from the flagship.
II guess it's no 60" he said to Blue.
THE Admiral says we can't do any
more shooting"
But I can cut it in three shots" pro-
tested Blue.
Delehanty pursed his lips and
squinted wistfully at the Haunting red
and yellow bunting, II hate like the
devil to ask again. he said half to
himself, but I'll do it," Back nuttered
this signal to the flagship:
Can cut the flag down in three
shots"
For several moments there was no
reply, The Admiral seemed to be con-
sidernG the SuWance's proposition.
| Every eye from the Suwanee and from
the other ships, which had seen the ex-
change Of signals, was fixed on the
flagship. Finally the Admiral's signal,
"All right, if you can cut II down in
three shots, so ahead" was displayed
The signal was received with a cheer
on the Suwanee which several Of the
other boats echoed Then the atten-
tion of the fleet became riveted on the
Spanish flag. Blue bent over his gun,
adjusted the sights, showed a cartridge
into the chamber, and closed the
breach. For the fraction Of second
he glanced down the barrel. Then
there was a sharp report. The far
away flag suddenly twisted itself
around the staff. Then it slowly un-
wound and two yellow remnants nut
tered in the brisk east wind. Blues
shot had cut out the red bar in the
centre which bore the Spanish cOat-of-
arms.
"A Corker Blue" shouted Delehanty
from the bridge TRY again, but re-
member that you We're little high that
time. Depress your piece a bit"
Blue readjusted his sights, and again
his gun spoke, This time cloud Of
dust rose from the base of the naC-
staff, which leaned over. 1t was quick
ly righted by one Of the Spanish gun
ncTS
"A bit low and too far TO the left that
time" said Delehanty, examining the
effect of the shot carefully through his
glasses. you knocked off corner OF
the pillar the STAFF is fixed in, Take
more time with your next shot, It's
the last, you know"
Blue was fully minute arranging
for his next shot. Every man on the
Suwanee held his breath, and every eye
was fixed intently on the far-away yell
low streamers which still fluttered de-
family. Blue fired and down came the
staff, cut clean in two at the middle.

BEST SHOTS OF THE WAR.
They Were Made by Victor Blue at
Aguadores.

From the sun.
Perhaps the best bit of gun work Of
the Spanish American war was eXecut-
ed by Lieutenant Victor Blue of the
SuWanee. 1t was at Aguadores one
morning in June, Half dozen
Yankee ships, including the New York,
Admiral SIMPSONS flagship, had been
bombarding the Spanish positions in
the hills which fringed the shore, with
out any other result than to smother
the cnemy's fire, when the signal cease
firing" nuttered from the New York.

teries which had been uncommonly ac-
tive in replying TO the Yankee Yolleys,

Delehanty started to say something
commendatory, hut his voice was

arose from the Suwanee's crew. The

finally Joining in the chorus. As the
cheering died away the signal, "Well
done Suwanee" fluttered from the
Admirars flagship and the incident was
closed. The range at which Blue did
this bit of shooting was 900 yards.
