teen knots an hour-was evident to all
from the moment she riglIted herself
from the turn and moved down the
line of stakeboats that disappeared
in the direction Of the Maine coast.
The crew, from Captain Hanlon and
helmsman and engineer down to the
deckhands, regarded the race as a
personal affair. Each one knew exact
ly what the Alabama and the Wiscon-
sin had done. and, therefore. what the
Illino' ms expected to do, and each
felt the heavy responsibility that rest
ed alike on steering wheel. or engine
shaft, or sack of coal, or on a single
drop Of oil.
At the end Of the half-course a sim
gular thing happened. Until the race
is finished every power Of the ship is
guarded against mishap. For this rea
son, the ship usually swings about on
an easy helm, and reserves the test of
her ability to turn in small circle
to the very end of the race. But
there was some confusion in orders,
and the ship suddenly came about,
hard a-port. and then as suddenly and
mysteriously swung hard to star
board. like tipsy sailor. Then she

and in. The path lay directly across
the deep blight in the shoreline of
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire
and ended off Cape Porpoise beyond
Mount Agamenticus on the Maine
coast. The gunboat Hist was the first
stake, and the others We're, in their
order, the training ships Lancaster
and Essex, the gunboats Newport and
PEORIA and the naval tug Potomac.
Long before the Illinois reached Cape
Ann she had worked up to a high
speed, and when she swept around
the first stake-boat and swung easily
into the path she had to follow, she
was making more than seventeen
knots an hour. SO smoothly did she
rush through the water. without vibra-
ton or clatter. that even the naval eX
perts could hardly believe she was
moving at that wonderful speed. Only
the white beaten foam she dashed
wide and far from her bows, and left
in a broad swath behind her, told of
the tremendous powsr and speed with
which she was being driven. Admiral
Evans and President Calvin e. Orcutt,
of the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Drydock Company, the builders, who
were on the bridge, Admiral w. T.
Sampson, who watched the first part
of the trial from station near the
wheel, and all the other naval officers
present, held their watches to catch
the exact time of the start and finish
Of the first reach, as if the ship were
a racehorse nearing the wire in q
sharply contested heat.
The gunboat Hist saluted as the bat
tleship crossed the startingline. and
the great fighter snorted curtly
through her siren whistle in acknowl-
edgment.

the morning of June -. awaiting the
supreme moment that should see her
transformed from n germ in iron and
steel into a battleship. She had lain
there for some time, and every hour
her picked crew and her shrewd build
ers had made her filter, and stronger
and fieeter. They had let the CRIME
and dirt accumulate on her decks, and
soil the creamy white of her graceful
ly curved sides; but they kept the ma
chinery clean and free, and as sleek
with oil as the mouth of a million
gallon "sponter.''
The test of the ship had been re-
garded by all as a dramatic climax
toward which everything was moving.
Her builders had been preparing her
for this moment ever since her launch
ing on October 4, 1898; and the United
States Navy, which was to reject or
accept her on the result of the trial,
had selected a trained body of Off
GERS to witness the race. AS if to
mark the occasion as sort of baptism
of fire, Rear-Admiral Fighting Bob"
Evans was placed at the head of this
Board.
On one, however, not even her build
ers or her crew, expected that she
would run the marvellous race she
did, eclipsing all records. But after
she reeled off her wonderful speed of
1871 knots so steadily, without fret
ting or quivering, Admiral Evans said
she could easily be forced to eighteen
knots.

meant something. When the war
broke out Mr.. Thurston promptly en-
listed in the Confederate cavalry, and
served until the surrender of his regi-
ment in 1865. His great height and
towering figure made him a favorite
target for Federal marksmen, and it
is estimated that thousands of shots
were fired directly at him during the
war. But some good fortune seemed
to watch over him, and he was wound
ed but once, and then slightly. In
1871 Mr.. Thurston removed to Titus
