An unsuitable" target, sent all the
way from the Brooklyn navy yard to
the Philippines, to be used in practice
by Uncle Sans warships of the Pacific
fleet, was actually sent to the bottom.
This might seem a reflection upon the
Judgment of those who constructed the
target. But circumstances alter cases.
1t was not anticipated that the men
behind the guns would shoot with such
force and effect. The target was Of
armor plate, with air chambers to keep
it afloat. But the bluejackets filled 1t
SO full of holes that even air chambers
could not save it, and down it went.
The incident is another testimonial as
to the kind of firing done by the men
on American naval vessels.
