was the man who celebrated the
arrival Of his flotilla at San Diego
by pitching in with his men and
hosting coal aboard. He didn t

Naval men do not regard the
cruise of the 16 battleships as re-
markable, though it proves to have

out the torpedo feet ran into a
gale The lifeboat of the Hull was
carried away. Those who had
never before been seasick had to

the straits, the flotilla again struck
heavy head seas. While a tempe st
was at it's height the forward
bridge of the Hull was carried
away and the Lawrence broke
down again.
1t was the same long, hard fight
around the horn and all the way
up to Magdalena. The torpedo
