SPLENDID NAVAL cVNNERY.

While public attention is centered |
On the warships in the far east, IT is !,
Interesting to note that the boys In
our own navy are not losing any OF
that skill which has made American
naval gunnery world-famous. Kemp
thorne Scott, an apprentice on the
torpedo boat Preble, has just broken
the six-pound gun record of the Amer.
lean navy. Incidentally, he broke
the Sabbath, since hi. wonderful
work was performed on Sunday,
but that apparently did not affect his
sip.
While the Preble was travelling at
the rate Of ten knots an hour, Scott

shots were hits, To properly apprecl-
ate the feat. it should be borne in
MIND that the vessel was covering

necessarily. have been tossing more or

governed SCOTS work. The condi-
tons would be more nearly the same
il the target were slOwely raised
and lowered a few inches at regular
intervals Ask the best rifle shot you
know what sort of showing he would
make.
The strength of the navy. after all
lies largely in the personnel of the
men who man the ships. The finest
war vessels are useless unless thei:
crews can inflict damage on the yes
sells of the enemy. While Scott holds
the six-pound record. there is prob
ably not a vessal in the American
navy that does not bear several gun
ners who can shoot almost as we!
as Scott. The work of the American
gunners in 1898 amazed the world
and this latest performance Indicate
