Statement Given Out for Publica-
ton by the Officers of the Ship
Concerning Her recent Trip to
Charleston.

Wilmington, N. c., April &c.
Editor Messenger:
To correct the somewhat
impression conveyed by the various
statements and reports regarding the
cruise of the Hornet. the following coz
densed account. endorsed by the officers
in command. has been given US for pub
lication:
Several hours after leaving Whining
ton the boiler tubes and condenser
tubes began to leak. making it impos-
sible to keep up a full head Of steam,
and Of course turning a certain amount
of water into the bilge. Before reach
ing Charleston lightship the weather
became thick and squally, n upon ar
rival there Commander Morse advised

light. before running in. The ship was
therefore put to sea under slow speed
for a few miles. turned about and
headed back again, and then turned
again. the idea being to keep within ten
or fifteen miles Of the lightship until
morning.
AS she turned to go out the second
time a heavy sea struck her on the
quarter. and the shock was mistaken
by some of the inexperienced men for
the grounding of the ship, while as a
matter OF fact there was not less than
ten fathoms Of water at this point.
This. of course. caused considerable ex-
citement among those who did not un-
derstand the conditions
In the meantime the water, which
was steadily leaking from the boiler
tubes and condenser, was necessarily
running into the bilge, and as the
siphon refused 70 work. the water grad

ually rose to the level of the boiler
room floor. which in itself is no ve:y
alarming condition and does not pre-
vent either the keeping up of the fires
or the running of the engine. To pre-
vent any further rise, however, the
chief engineer advised topping the
engines and coming to anchor, which
was accordingly done and no further
trouble was experienced.
The ship was now lying in a cross
sea and of course rolling heavily, DASH
ing the water from n side to the 9TH
eT. Some of the crew were set to ball
ing from the fireroom, although o.
curse but little Roadway could be
made with buckets, and the water re-
manned at practically the same level
until morning. when Mr.. Williams cler-
ed the suction Of the siphon and the
water was soon pumped out.
The statement that three whistles
were blown as a distress signal is en-
tirely wrong. They were simply given
as fog signals by Commander Morse,
who CALMLY remained upon the bridge
from the time the Hornet left Will
mington until she tied up at the Char
lesion dock.
AS soon as the siphon was cleared the
nch was weighed and the Hornet
run into the harbor under her W
steam.
1t is a source of great regret to toe
majority of the brigade that sensation
al accounts of the imaginary dangers
been given to the public. for while the
experience was undoubtedly a rough
and unpleasant one to the novice,
vet it was no more than Is time AMI

customed to a s~ea-faring life.
