Terrible Strain on Admiral Dewey and
Lieut.. Caikins In Manila Fight,

Lieutenant +. \. FiSke, L. :. n. of
the Petrol. writes an article for the
Century on why We Won at Manila"
Lieutenant FiSke says: The decisive
moment was approaching, and it WAS
approaching in n very tickliSh man
ncr: for it must not be forgotten that
the American fleet was in a harbOr in
which not a single officer had ever
been before, and with which their ac-
quaintance had been acquired wholly
from charts. Now. navigating an un-
known harbOr by chart is tickliSh
work, even on Il bright afternoon.
when no one is firing heavy guns, and
when there is no necessity for going
near shoals But how is it when the
light is so poor that it is almost i'm
possible to distinguish those land
marks on shore which one must distn-
guSh in order to tell where he is: How
is it when the ship Whcreon You are is
firing heavy guns, that rattle your in
StrumcntS and fill the air with smoke:
How is it when it is absolutely essen
tal to get as near to certain shoals as
possible. i'll order to bring your guns
close to the enemy? How is it when.
in addition to all these things. shells
weighing from one pound to one hun
dred pounds are singing in the air
about you? Most of us can keep our
heads fairly clear if we have sheet
of paper and a lead-pcncil, and are sit
ting safe in quiet room.
But how was it with Commodore
Dewey and Lieutenant CalkinS when
they stood high up by the standard
compass on the morning of the 1St of
May? CalknS took compass bearings
of certain landmarks on shore, and
then MS assistant drew lines on the
chart. indicating these directions.
from the spots representing those land
marks. The intersection of the lines
showed the position Of the ship; and
from each successive position the com
modorc directed the further move
ments Of the fleet. When one thinks
of how much disaster might have fol
lowed n mistake of Calkins. or mis-
taken order of the commodore relative
TO the course alone (and he had, at the
same time, to give orders to the ships
about many other matters. one can ap-
preciate wnat the responsibilities of
their positions were. and what was the
necessity for coOlneSS and clearncSS

CHAPTER XIV

CHAPTER XIV.
Three months have come and gone and
winter is upon us. 1t is close on Christ
mastide indeed. Mr.. Monkton has receiv-
ed letter from his mother inviting her
daughter-in-law and the children as well
as Joyce and himself to occupy a house
in Harley street, London. for the winter.
This tardy invitation. after eight years
since their unacknowledged marriage.
Barbara feels much inclined to refuse, but
after great deal of argument on the part
of her husband and lots of coaxing from
Joyce she finally consents to undergo the
ordeal which she knows is before her.
Two weeks later sees them settled in
town, in the Harley street house, that
seems enormous and unfriendly to Mrs.
Monkton, but delightful to Joyce and the
children, who wander from room to room.
and under her guidance, pretend to find
bears and lions and bogies in every corner.
The meeting between Barbara and
Lady MonktOn had not been satisfactory
There had been very little said on either
side, but the chill that lay on the whole
interview had never thawcd for mo-
ment.
Barbara had been stiff and cold if en-
tirely polite, but not at all the Barbara to
whom her husband had been up to this
accustomed. He did not blame her for
the change of front under the circum-
stances, but he could hardly fail to regret
il, and it puzzled him great deal to know
how she did it
Lady Monkton had been stiff, too; un-
pardonably So-as il was certainly her
place to make amends-to soften and
smooth down the preliminary cmbarrasS-
ment. But then she had never been fam
ed for suavity of any sort; and an old
aunt of Monkton'S, a sister of hers, had
been present during the interview. and
had helped considerably to keep up the
frigidity of the atmosphere.
She was not bad old woman at heart
this aunt. She had indeed from time to
time given up all her own small patrimony
to help her sister to get the eldest son out
of his many disrcputahle difficulties She
had done this partly for the sake of the
good old family names on both sides and
partly because the younger George Monk
ton was very dear to her.
She disliked Frederick not only intense
ly, but with an openneSs that had its dis
advantages-not for any greater reason
than that he had behaved himself so far
i'll his journey through life more creditably
than his brother. She had always made
4 point against him of his undutiful mar
riage, and never failed to add fuel TO the
fire OF his fathers and mothers resent
ment about it whenever that fire seemed
TO burn low.
