SIXTY LIVES LOST EXPLOSION
OF BOILERS GUNBOAT BENNINGTON

I disasters as are common among pas
senger and merchant vessels
The story of shipwreck and disas-
! ter to the American navy is snort
one. The Fulton, our first steam war
vessel was destroyed by an explosion
of the magazine and twenty-six lives
we're lost The brig Somers was sunk
by a squat Dec. 9. 1916. and forty-one
lives were lost. The sloop of war
Huron was wrecked on the coast OF
North Carolina Nov. "a, 1877, and 100
lives we're lost.

at Apia, Samoan islands, and fifty-one
lives were lost. On Feb. 2, 1894, the
Kearsarge was wrecked on Roncado1
reef but no lives were lost.
Aside from the vessels lost in the
arctic seas. this makes up our list OF
naval disasters down to the time OF
the destruction of the Maine in Ha
vana harbor, which was an act of war
Other of our naval vessels had thrill
ing experiences in storms, but without
great loss of life.
For example, while anchored Of
Fredericksted, on the island of st
Croix, Nov. 1S, 1867. the Monongahela

town. A receding wave carried her
out of town and placed her on coral
reef. but without serious damage and
with only five of the crew lost. The

The receding sea carried her into

In 1868 an earthquake wave broke
the storeship Fredonia in pieces
drowning twenty-seven officers and
men, and carried the steamer Wateree
half mile inland. The vessel was a
total loss, but only one man was LOST
from the Wateree.
This record of disaster in the Ameri.

disaster, hurried to the water front,

Accident Seen from Shore.

Sixty of her crew lay dead at city

various hospitals.

will be. for Senator Aldrich will certainly
not get an unanimous reelection II r
probable a caucus will he held by the
Democrats between noon and Tuesday
for the purpose or nominating someone.
While the chances are somewhat remote
OF the Democratic candidates winning. IL
IL, nevertheless. considered something OF
