CHAPTER VI.
nEArH our on THE pEEP.

DEATH OUT OF THE DEEP.
At $3.50 that night, February IT, 1864,
the little torpedo-boat, after having
successfully passed the monitors and
ironclads anchored just out Of range Of
Fort Sumter, and inside the shoals at
the harbor mouth, was stopped about a
mile from the outer entrance OF the
main ship channel, where her quarry
had been reported as lying quietly at
anchor at nightfall. Success had at
tended the efforts of her devoted crew
so far. BY Lacy's command the David
was stopped in order to give little
rest, breathing space, before the last
dash at their prey, to the weary sea-
men who had driven her steadily on
since leaving the wharf.
The night was calm and very still.
The hatch covers were thrown back, the
tired men thrust their heads into the
cool, sweet air, so refreshing after the
closeness Of their badly ventilated ves-
sci, and wetted their fevered. ex-
hausted bodies with the stimulating
water Of the bay. The artillery officer
took advantage OF the opportunity to
make careful re-examination Of the
torpedo, and Lacy was greatly relieved
when he reported that he had every
thing IN good working order so far as
he was able to judge. The young COM
mander of the expedition was the more
anxious for success because of the pre-
vious failures Of similar endeavors.
After a ten-minute rest he gave the
order to get under way.
Men," he. said coolly, ''you know
the history OF this boat. There's
chance, ay, more than a chance, that
none Of US will ever come back from
this expedition. You knew all that when
you volunteered. II we do get out alive
The San Francisco call., 1903-12-20

her man-power engine could shove her
along at about q speed OF four knots.
Although the order OF General Beaure-
gard that she should not be submerged
again had materially diminished the
risk which experience had shown was
overwhelming, yet the proposed expedi-
ton was nevertheless hazardous in the
extreme.
In the. first place an excellent look
out was kept on the Union ships on ac-
count Of the several attempts which
had been made against them by SINH
lar boats. II she were discovered, one
shot striking the boat as she ap-
preached. even a rife shot, would suf-
nee to sink her. No one knew what she
would do even II she succeeded in ex-
ploding the torpedo. It was scarcely
hoped that she could get away from a
sinking ship IN that event.
The little party of soldiers grouped
on the wharf bade good-by to the men
who entered the deadly affair as If they
were saying farewell to those about to
die. Every preparation had been made,
the artillery officer had finally and
carefully inspected the torpedo to see
that 1t was in good working order, the
men had descended into the cramped
narrow little hull OF the boat and had
made ready to start the propeller.
None Of them wore any superfluous
clothing, for il was oppressively hot in
the confined area Of the little iron shell,
and they might have to swim for their
lives anyway-perhaps they would be
lucky If they got the chance. In short.
everybody was ready and every one
was there except the commander Of the
expedition.
Great secrecy has been observed in
the preparations lest there might be
q spy In the town who. learning Of
the attempt. would communicate the
valuable information to the Federal
feet and so frustrate IT. General Beau
regard had caused the wharf to be
cleared and guarded early in the even
ing. It was quite dark in February at
o'clock and no one except his trusted

had last seen her, almost fearing
that she had again sunk beneath the
sea. They stayed there perhaps five
minutes-at least, until the blockade
runners, none Of them showing a light
Of any description, could get under way
in obedience to a lantern signal from
the general and noiselessly slip down
the bay In the wake OF the frail little
craft which 1t was hoped would be able
to clear the path for them.
Now" said Beauregard, turning
away at last, for Mr.. Sempland. I do
not understand 1t. 1 never thought him
a coward"
Nor am I, sir" painted q voice out of
the darkness, as a pale and breathless
man burst through the group surround
ing the general.
"Mr. Semplandr"
For Gods sake, sir, am 1 In time

How longf Call her back"
''It Is too late. She has been gone

who took her out?'

'Hel My God! am disgraced Dis
honoredi And she''-
Where were you, sirr''

The young man hesitated.
"Why don't you answer? Do you re-
alize your position? You begged this
detail. Why were you not here?"
"Oh, General Beauregard"-
How could you forget your honorf
