By some miscalculation of those in
charge Of the navigation of the ship she
headed inside the buoy marking the turn
around Point Lookout from the bay into
the Potomac and ran upon a sand bar. The
speed at which the vessel was going sent
her well out upon the bar and there she
stuck, in spite of the hardest effort sof
her powerful engines to back her into
deeper water.
The tug William H. Yerkes, jr., of this
city spent the greater part of yesterday
pulling and hauling at the vessel In an eff
fort to work her af1oat and though the po-
sftion of the monitor was changed the
tug could not pull her into deep water and
had to abandon the effort.

The Van Twiller Diamonds

THE Van Twiller Diamonds" a
new short serial story by Philip Mer-
rill Mighels. starts in the issue of
The Sunday Magazine of The Sunday
Star for June 18. Though running
through only four issues of the mag
azine it Is one of the most dramatic
tales Mr.. Mighels has yet put forth
and totally unlike most of his best
known work
The colored cover design of this
issue illustrates the opening scene.
A well-to-do young man. engaged to
a young girl OF good social standing.
is caught by his prospective father
in-law in the act Of rif,ing the family
safe OF a diamond necklace and other
treasures. Strangely enough he has
acted thus at the behest OF his be-
trothed. The young man IL far from
being the criminal. and his fiancee
Is as guiltless as he Is. This Aturdy
American father. who Is confronted
with this condition Of affairs In HIS
own household. Is remorseiess ana
unforg,ving. At this interesting point
MIR. Mighels takes up . tale of loves
thorny way to happiness In an Amer
lean family which carries absorbing
interest into Its every chapter.
The happy ending which the author
has determined for his story could
not possibly be guessed from It's tur-
bulent beginning. Mr.. Mighels won
much Of his fame last year With
'Bruvyer inns BabJi." book that
appeared simultaneously with jesse
phine Daskam's Memoirs OF a
Baby" and was strongly ccntrasted
with 1t as the masculine versus the
feminine view Of the baby literature
But prior to that volume and since
much OF MI. Mighefs best work has
found its way into american and
British magazines and periodicals..

and they spit spitefully at the lower search
light of Fort Hunt. and then. with con-
slant flashes from their sides, they ran di-
rectly between the two Notifications on
their way to Washington.
There was no break in the single-file pro-
cession in the Potomac channel for the
whole feet went by. When the monitors
were in front of the forts their searchlights
were flashed into the sky, were those of
the forts. The sky became overcast with
clouds and smoke.
Then sounded from the forward monitor
the lugle to cease firing, and In silence and
once more in darkness the fleet maintained
its course toward the national capital.
The ships which attacked the defenses of
Washington last night lay at anchor above
the Notifications after the battle until
clock this morning, when they sailed down
stream, one by one, exactly in the order
they had assembled. No demonstration was
made before the forts, and the ships soon
disappeared around MarshallS Point and
into the lower Potomac.
