THE 1R1sg srANpARp, SATURDAY., MARCH ;, 1908.

With our old vessels we thought we
were fairly flying when we steamed
four knots an hour on speed tests.
Our engines were forced to their ut
most capacity to make that speed,
guess. for our decks danced up and
down at frightful rate. And our am.
munition-it makes me laugh when I
think of it. We used to fire away at
targets with our old nine-inch smooth.
bores over what are now short ranges.
We could hit the mark all right, and
We were proud of it. But it is anus
Ing now to think how our shells
would turn and twist and roll while
making their fight. They didn't look
anything like our modern shells, which
make their flight in the same position
as that in which they lie in the gun,
business end foremost. But those were
good old days. THE Blue Jacket.

NAVY THENAND NOW
THE DAYS OF WOODEN SHIPS
AND sMooTH.eoREs.
Just az Strongly az In These Days
American Sailors Were Conf
dent They Could Whip
Any Other Nation.

Lieut.. Commander E. A. Anderson,
on recruiting duty, recently described
his naval experiences to newspaper
men of Cincinnati, and showed the
great change which has been made
within his experience. Few of the
men in the navy to-day realize the
great difference of everyday condi-
tions of naval life.
with our old wooden ships and our
smooth-bore guns we felt we could
lick the whole world when entered
the navy" said Lieut.. Commander
Anderson. "All the ships in our navy
were wooden at that time, with the
exception of few monitors. The Eu-
ropean squadron consisted of the Pen
sacola, Kearsarge and the Quinne'
baug. Admiral Dewey was captain of
the Pensacola at that time. 1t makes
me feel like am an old salt to call
to mind the kind Of ships and guns we
had in those days. There were 25
men to gun crew then, and 1t re-
quired all of them to haul the old
smooth-bores about.
after they had been fired the men
had to haul them back inside the ship
to reload. Then they had to push
them out again so the guns could be
fired. 1t required about fve minutes
to pivot a gun from one side to the
other, when training it on some OBJ
ject. and I don't know how long it re-
qufred to load one of them. Well do
] remember our broadside batteries Of
old nine-inch smooth.bores. Why,
when we got our first riled guns. two
six-pounders. we again thought we
could lick anything afloat. We used
them for some time for firing salutes
only. Our old ships were rotten. In
those days We used large hemp ropes
to counteract the recoil of the guns
after they had been fired. but to-day
we have the most modern recoil ap
paratus known to naval experts.
Il can remember very we'll that
when the navy department prepared
to construct what was known as The
White Squadron consisting Of tho
Chicago. the Atlanta and the Dolphin,
now the secretary of the navy's yacht.

some authorities because they were to

But suppose could raise $4,000 or

THE "TIDENDE" ON GOVERNOR
COILS RESIGNATION.

The announcement of the designation OF
Governor { old as Managing Director OF the
United Steamship Company OF Copenhagen
is not good news for these Danish Islands.
1t means that before long he Will bld us all
goodbye and go home to assume his new
functions. While congratulations on the
selection are III order, we cannot-and we
believe in so saying we interpret correctly
the feelings of both this community and
that OF st. ~Crcix-conceal our regret at the
separation.
Governor Cold has not been very long
among us, nevertheless he will leave behind
him a recorI that few if any OF hls predeces-
sors can boast Of. First Of ali he IS popular
"a sine Gua non for successful Government;
secondly, he is eminently practical and mat
ter-of-fact and last though not least he IS
at all times and to everybody very approach
able. Herein we venture to say lay q good
measure of his success. Plain, amlab!e and
possessing a natural suavity Of manner, it
was easy to satisfy all; with ample iDteFl-
gence he combined great tact; SO that his
agreeable acts were always gracefully per
formed, and even when DUTY compelled hI'r
to do q disagreeable thing he knew how to-
take the rough edge eff. BY these and 9TH
err exemplary characteristics he won his way
among Lue people,, aNd IL - OA Ih"c "'OO"hU
he will be kindly remembered by them.
Governor Cold arrived here at q time
when there was difficult work TO be done,
and a host of administrative changes to be
carried out. Selected by the Finance Min
lister as his tittest representative, the result
has shown that his high credentials were
not exaggerated and that he has acquitted
the duties entrusted to him well. In SO doing
however, it must not be forgotten that he had
the earnest, valuable assistance OF the Colo
NAL Councils and but for whose cooperation
his mission could never have been successful
IL ACCOMPLISHED. And, from his +. val to
the present, it is pleasing 70 note, tie lela-
lions between himself ARD the peoples

and cordial.
There's a saying that "as good fish re-
main in the sea as came ont OF l" let us
hope that the appointment Of his successor
IN the Goveruorshlp will verify the truth OF
this old saw, and that the new man Will IN
time win equal laurels with the retiring one.
A point, huallv, about Governor Colds re-
tirament is that he goes to associate hlm-
self with the management Of one OF the
largest steamship enterprises in the world,
and in this capacity we may rely upon him
to do whatever lies in his power SO far as
concerns principally our mainstay-the HAIR
bor-which needs all the attention and stl-
1nulus possible.
