me-" The poor fellow died, however,
in five minutes.
An officer to-day said:
Never in my life have l seen such
discipline, courage and heroism dis
PLAYED as in the case when that terrible
accident occurred
Men Not DESERVING.
There is absolutely no truth in the
reports sent out from Pensacola that
the Texas had a narrow escape from
a blow back. The report that many
assertions have occurred is equally
false. Target practice is going ahead
as though no such accident had oc-
Cured, and the Missouri will resume
her practice as soon as the court of
inquiry is concluded.
Admiral Caps, chief of the bureau
of construction and repair, to-day
made a personal examination OF the
Missouri. With the exception OF the
wiring and slight damage to the HOSTS
the vesesl remains uninjured.
SIN Another Hero.
Midshipman Caleff, who was assign
cd TO the Missouri only three weeks
ago. made three separate attempts 70
rush into the turret after the ex-
plosion in an attempt to rescue the
men who were being burned to DEATH
but was pulled away from the entrance
each time Finally the commanding
officer ordered him below to other du-
ties. To have entered would have been
almost instant death.
The Missouri will sail for New YORK
not later than Tuesday. She may get
awav at an earlier date, but this has
not been determined. She cannot de-
part until the court of inquiry has
finished its sessions.
