L. s. N. who commanded the cruiser
Boston at the battle of Manila. was
rendered reception by the officers and

"reminiscences of the war in the Pacific
Prior to the declaration of war the
Boston was stationed some 1900 miles
to the north of Hong Kong in Korean
port, when one day a telegram was re-
ceived from Dewey which read like
this: War with Spain. Hurry to
Hong Kong"
Capt. Wildes instantly cleared his
ship for action and started at full
speed for Hong Kong. where he arrived
three or four days later with every
gun loaded and every man at his gun
ready to fight at the sight Of a Spanish
flag.
Dewey could not quite understand
the warlike appearance of the Boston
and then it was found that a very i'm
pOrtant word had somehow dropped
out Of the message to Capt. Wildes i'll
transmission-that was the word i'm
minent." The message should have
read: War with Spain imminent.
Hurry to Hong Kong"
He then described the voyage to Ma
Mia ana the entrance to the bay in the
early morning.
