AS a boy George Dewey was alert,
bright and vivacious. He was not hard
student. He was often mischievous, but
never malicious. He was fond of all out
door sports, and was not averse to a fist
fight when he considered that he was In
the right But he never pitched into a
lad smaller than himself. He was all
ways on the side Of the weak against the
bully. Mary Dewey, his sister, was his
frequent companion In the milder amuse-
ments of his early boyhood. She remem-

dor, without fear or hesitation" During
his first year at Annapolis Dewey did not
hold any high rank. He was not exactly

the pleasures of student life and its good
comradeship that he had little time Left

roof was covered with iron. horted and
dovetailed.
We knew very little about ironclads,
and there were many at that time who
thought the railroad iron would turn
anything We might fire at 1t from our
ships and come right on and sink any
wooden vessel The Manassas was not
much of gunboat. She had just one
big gun which she poked out of a port
on the bow and fired. The recoil would
pull the muZZle of the gun back inside
and a shutter would drop like an eyelid
so there was no way to hurt here unless
we pierce her armor. We knew her
pretty we'll by this time. She had tried
to ram the Brooklyn, but was too close,
and she had shouldered a big fire raft
right under our starboard bow and set
the Hartford ablaze. We could not drive
her off, SO l knelt on the deck and pulled
the plugs out of three big shells. 1t was
tickliSh time. Farragut saw me kneel-
ing there and exclaimed:
well, well, Mr.. Osborn, this is no
time to pray
Just wait moment, Flag Officer, and
you'll hear the loudest answer TO pray
er that you ever heard"
Then overheard went the shells into the
heart of the burning tar barrels, cot
ton and oil, and the explosion Of the
shells blew the whole side out Of tho fire
ship and scared the Manassas away.
She didn't know what was happening
So we knew the Manassas pretty we'll.
The Mississippi did not have far to go.
AS soon as she was about she began
to angle off down the river direct for the
ram. Just imagine a great big ferry
boat, with paddle wheels reaching above
the deck, running down the Katahdin
and you will have some idea Of how 1t
looked to us on the Hartford. The sin
gle gun of the ram spoke, but this was
only a sort of challenge. She was bound,
for the Hartford and meant to drive
her steel beak into her. 1t was all close
work, no 4,000-yard ranges such as the
tools the boys have to work with nova
days make possible. The whole hing
could have been enclosed by circle
few hundred yards in dimension. We
were not a hundred yards from them
ourselves when the Mississippi opened up.
She came right onto the Manassas
and then sheered aside and from the
shortest range let go her port broadside.
She had to depress her guns and shoot
right down on the ram.
She carried twelve eight-inch PaXham
guns, six on a side, and she fired solid
balls of iron. They were not the steel
armor-piercing projectiles of today, of
course, but spheres, and they were good
enough Ior the TallroaQ lrOn Inc MIS-
sissippi had evidently extra charged
guns, and when those six huge masses
of metal came together against the
Manassas side they bent the iron rails
wherever they hit, and the ends of the
long railroad irons flew outward, pull
ing bolts as If they had been pins and
ripping bands as If they had been pa=
per.
The crush and impact was tremendous.
We were used to noise and could judge.
The iron globes smashing on the bent
rails threw them up and scattered them
like a bundle of laths dropped from a

Praise for Lake Weir

A party Of four, including the
writer, have just returned from
beautiful and famous Lake Weir.
Having heard and read great
deal OF the lake and It's surround
lngS, we are now ready to indorse
anything favorable SAID of either.
Having spent the past six months
tllling the soil, and almost swell
tering in the shade, it Is almost
impossible for me to describe
that delightful change we expert
enced Immediately upon our ar
rival at the lake A fine breeze
was blowing, and | assure you it
produced most invigorating
effect. After eating supper and
enjoying perfecto presented by
our genial friend, Mr.. John II.
Feaster, we retired to our pala-
tial lodging and were soon in the
arms of Morpheus, and, oh, the
delightful dreams, Gold mines,
diamond fields, government
bonds, the gold standard, and
the Palmer and Buckner wing of
the republican party. l dreamed
that l saw an immense gathering,
seventy millions Of people assem-
bIed with w. j. Bryan as chair
man. The band was playing,
"God Save the Country" and
this immense crowd was singing,
"Hallelujah, IT'S Done"
Dreams dc not amount to
much, but somehow this dream
has made an indelible impression
upon this party Of four, and by a
unanimous vote we declared Lake
Weir the grandest place on earth.
