NAVAL MYSTERIES.
War Vessels Of the United States That
Have Disappeared.
patron

EfdN0 DtSapSSdIShs
Curious disappearances and accidents
TO our warships characterized the early
history of our navy. and In spite of all
the efforts Of the navy department to
explain the cause of the disasters many
Of them are as absolute mysteries to-
day as when they happened.
When the government built ten new
gunboats to prosecute the war against
'Iripoli III 1903, they were sent out as
coon as they were finished and before
thcr were named. Each one was given
number and dispatched to the seat Of
t.le war. No Z smiled from New York
July 20, 1905. under the command Of
Lieutenant Ogelvie, and after she clear
ed Sandy Hook light she was never
heard from again. She went down
with all on board before she had even
been named.
A most extraordinary accident was
that which happened to the corvet Mo
nongahela Mt Santa Cruz In 1867.
While at anchor in the harbor a ire
mendous tidal wave lifted her upon its
crest and carried her clean over the
town of Frederlchstadt and back again
without injurlng the town or the boat
to any great extent The receding
wave landed her on the beach instead
Of in the deep water of the harbor, and
1t cost our government 100000 to float
her again. Fully as strange was the
fate Of the slOop-of-war Wateree. She
was anchored In the harbor of africa.
Peru, in 1868, when huge tidal wave
swept inland and flooded the whole
city. The wave carried the sloop sew
eral miles inland and finally landed her
In the midst of a tropical forest. 1t
was impossible to release her from
such a peculiar position, and the gov
eminent sold her for a nominal sum.
The purchasers turned the vessel into
a hotel, and the remains of that once
formidable war vessel loom up In the
tropical forest today as monument
to the power of tidal waves.
Among the other cases of disaster
which are attributed to the violence of
the waves or weather there is none
more interesting than that OF the
strange fate Of the Saratoga. When
she sailed from Philadelphia in Octo-
Der, 1880, under the command of Cap
tain James Young, there was no finer
or handsomer war vessel afloat. That
she was as formidable as she was at
tractive was soon demonstrated in a
practical way. After cruising around
a short time she captured three British
vessels in succession, and then, with
her prizes, she started to return to
Philadelphia, but off the Delaware
capes she encountered British ship
of the line AS the Saratoga carried
only eighteen guns and the Intrepid
was seyenty-four gun ship, Captain
Young considered 1t safer to run away.
The enemy did not chase her far, but
returned to protect and recapture the
British prizes. The Saratoga sailed
away in the very teeth of a storm, and
she was never heard from again.
