Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson

When it was known that Cerveras
fleet was in the harbor the late Rear
Admiral Sampson conceived the idea
Of effectually sealing il up and thus
prevent any possibility OF escape.
Volunteers were called for To lead the
daring expedition and the first TO re-
spond was Lieutenant Hobson.
1t was not necessary TO tell the
young lieutenant that he took his life
ia bis hands and that whether the
plan failed or not he probably would
not return alive. He knew that, and
knowing. was willing TO offer his
young life as a sacrifice on the altar
OF his country.
1t is not nece, sary to recount that
thrilling feat it is not necessary to
tell how HobSOu steered the collier
Merrimac into the mouth Of the hal
Dor a dead OF night, sunk it TO the
bottom and with his comrades Jump
ed into the stream. His capture, i'm
prisionment and subsequent liberia
tion are too we'll known to need re-
counting Nor is it necessary to say
that it was one OF the bravest deeds
ever recorded
The world has applauded Hobson
and his place is secure among those
who offered up their lives at the call
Of duty. That hour 10 Santiago har-
Dor forms one Of the bright pages 10
