will undoubtedly make history with
her 13-inch muzzles which project
ffowningly from her massive turrets.
The wisconsin, already familiar yes-
sci to Honolulans, is a huge fighting
machine which needs only a baptism
of fire to show that it will sustain the
wartime reputation of the great north
western State which stands sponsor
for her acts upon the high seas.
There is something magnificent and
awe-inspiring in the steel mass which
lies at Naval Dock No. 2. Even along
side the great flagship Kentucky with
her superimposed turrets, the Wiscon-
sin looks full of strength.
The Wisconsin is yet young in the
service for she was commissioned only
two years ago-February 4, 1901. She
has seen service only in the waters OF
the Pacific and in the seas surrounding
Japan. Korea, China and the Philip
pines That the Wisconsin has fu-
fact that she comes from the same
builders as the battleship Oregon, now
lying within short stones throw of
her, and as the Olympia, Dewey's flag
ship. On November is, 1885, the battle
ship was launched, the keel having
been laid on February 9. 1897. When
she was launched Captain George G..
Reiter was given command. When the
vessel had her trial trip she made 17.11
knots per hour but while on the Asiat-
ic station a maximum speed of 1873
knots per hour was maintained for four
hours. The Badger" men are proud
of the ships achievements in this re-
Epect, and the only drawback to their
happiness is the fact that the vessel is
no longer a flagship.
Only last month the Wisconsin occu-
pied the proud position of flagship
with Rear-Admiral Cooper aboard. The
orders to come to Honolulu gave the
supreme command to Admiral Evans
and Admiral Cooper, in command or
the cruiser squadron, transferred his
flag to the cruiser New Orleans. The
Badger" printed aboard the Wiscon-
sin, treats of this important event in
its Thanksgiving issue as follows:
admiral Cooper and his staff We're
quite busy on the morning of the 18th
inst. preparing official and personal
effects for transfer to the new flagship
New Orleans and several trips were
made between the two ships by the
running boats.
'"The Admiral left the ship shortly
before noon in company with Lieuten-
ant Boughter, and upon his departure
was greeted by three rousing cheers
from the crew which plainly showed
the esteem with which Admiral Coop
er is held by the enlisted men.
"a first class cruiser may arrive on
the station before Admiral Cooper re-
turns to this ship as Commander-in-
Chief In such an event he will remove
to the newly arrived cruiser. Should
new flagship be sent to the cruiser
Ssquadron it will in all probability be
tthe Minneapolis.
'"The Admirals flag remained at our
mainmast until we were under way on
the following morning, when just as it
was being hauled down, blue flag

Wind against the background OF the
gray day, while her sea blue eyes look
ed boldly over the black water from
her proud, white, handsome face.
"Now!" he said as the boat rose to-
ward them. Without a moments hest
tation she leaped into the air, and after
a swift passage through the water she
was hauled into the beat by the rough
but kindly hands of the Old sailor.
his own waist, O'Neill, watching his
opportunity, sprang after, but he seem
ed fated for misfortune that day, for q
bit of timber torn that moment from
the wreck struck him on the head just
as he touched the water, and it was a
fainting, senseless man Price hauled
into the boat The old seaman laid
his officer down in the stern sheets,
where the young girl was sitting with
her maid crouching at her feet. Nee
essarily he lay in Il constrained posi-
ton; there was nothing to support his
head but boat stretcher.
She gazed upon his pallid face with
its disfguring wounds. He was MUIR
derous pirate, no doubt, and deserved
1t all; still he had saved her life. The
Maidstone was breaking up. He was so
handsome too, and he looked like gen.
tleman. She was q woman, well-then
the womanly instincts Of the girl as
serted themselves, and she finally
moved her position and lifted the head
of the unconscious sailor to her knee.
Taking u handkerchief from her neck,
she dipped it in the salt water and
bathed his head and then poured be-
tween his lips a few drops from the
flask of rum which Price handed her
after the old man had insisted that she
take a draft of the fiery liquid her
self.
Under these pleasant ministrations
O'Neill opened his eyes for moment,
gazed UP into her face with smiling
glance, and closing his eyes immediate
ly, lest sl.h should release him, he lay
quite s-ll while the men pulled away
toward 70 Ranger, and in that manner
they re, yhed her side. His heart was
beating wildly; that look had been
enough She was his prisoner-but her
captor was captured!
