Admiral Joe COqhIan.

der OF the New YORK navy ydTQ
for several years, and only gave
it up just prior to his death.
While in command he received a
request from a New York alder
man for the use of a cruiser on
which to entertain a party of
friends, to which the admiral re-
piled as follows:
my dear Alderman: l am in
deed, sorry, but the navy yard
has just run out of cruisers, as
several aldermen who borrowed
them recently have not returned
them. In a few days, maybe, |
can talk business. How would
a battleship or submarine do?"
When Peary was about to
start for the north, he banquet
ed a company of officers on
board the Roosevelt. When the
good-byes came, Coghlan, all
smiles, took Peary by the hand
and said:
Good luck, old man. | hope
you win, but between you and
me, | think l would like my ice
better in a glass"
Allknow he fought the Raleigh
in the great battle of Manila
bay, but all have not seen the
report he made to Admiral
Dewey after the battle. 1t was
as follows:
"Out of the jaws of death, out
of the gates of hell, and only a
little smoky from the trip"
He was by Dewey's side when
on the bridge of the OLYMPIA
Dewey had an interview with
an aid of COMMANDMENTS Chief
Diedrich, commandment chief
OF the German war ship in Pa
cihc waters. 1t happened few
days after the fight in Manila
Bay. Dewey told the German
officer that he did not intend to
brook any interference, and if
the Germans wanted any fight,
it was there for the asking, and
Coghlan, in a low voice said:
And the quicker the sooner"
THE German aid came on
board Dewey's ship and lodged |
complaint about the stopping
OF German vessels when they
attempted to enter Manila |
harbor.
Tell your admiral that those
ships must stop when say so.
| wish to make this blockade
complete Dewey told the aid.
But we fly the German flag
replied Won Diederich's aid.
Those flags can be bought
for half dollar ayard anywhere,
Dewey retorted; and now you
tell your admiral, and be sure to
say explicitly that it comes from
me, that the slightest infraction
OF any of my rules will mean
only one thing. If you people
are ready to fight you can have
it at airy time.
"HoCH DER KAISER"
1t was at that banquet that
