Olympia, the magnificent flagship Of the
little Asiatic squadron, was one of these
men. Unfortunately he did not long en-
Joy the honors won. He died in Japan q
few weeks later. on his way home. Grid
ley saw two years service in the civil war
and had grown up with the new navy. He
was an exceedingly popular man with his
fellow officers, for, though in a sense II
quiet man, not given to boasting, he was
at all times companionable and had a fund
of good stories at his command, which
showed the keen sense of humor in his
makeup.
Captain Gridley was an athletic man,
above medium height, at whom you would
look twice, even II he hadn't his uniform on,
and who carried in his face that intelligence
and determination which, combined, make
the American fighter on land or on sea
the superior of any other on the face OF
the globe.
Captain Gridley graduated from the
academy in 1868, and went right into the
hard campaigning which befell the navy In
the last year of the civil war. He was at
the battle Of Mobile bay, which has been
likened by naval experts to the battle OF
Manila bay. After the war he was on the
! Brooklyn, the flagship of the Brazil squad
ron, and on the Kearsarge, which was Oh
the same station for four years. Then for
four years he was at the Naval academy as
one of the instructors, and during that
time served on the practice ship Constel-
lation.
Captain Gridley was next assigned to the
| Trenton, where he served two years; then
to tho Jamestown and the Portsmouth. In
1886 he was senior officer of the cruising
training squadron. He was made a cap.
tain in 1897.
Commander of the Raleigh.
The commander of the Raleigh has Il
name which would indicate fighting ability.
He is Captain Joseph b. Coghlan, and IL
there is anything in the popular idea of
Gehting ability going with Irish blood he
ought to be a fighter. But there is still ar
other reason-he is a native of Kentucky.
That makes a combination hard to beat.
Like Captain Gridley, he got out of the
| Naval academy in time to get a real taste
of the civil war. He was on the steam
slOop Sacramento during the last year OF
tho war, and after that served a couple OF
years with Captain Gridley on the Brook,
Ign. His service from that time took him
consecutively to the Pawnee, the Guerrero,
the Portsmouth, the Richmond, the Saugus
the Colorado, the Monongahela and the
Adams. This was his first command. After,
ward he was inspector of ordnance n,
League Island, His promotion to a cap,
taincy came in 1896.
In person Captain Coghlan is stout anc
