Plans to Raise the Maine

Washington.-John E. O'Rourke,
the engineer who bridged the Hud-
son at Poughkeepsie and drove the
Pennsylvania Railroad tunnel under
the North river, today laid before
Acting Secretary of War Oliver his
plan for raising the Maine from the
mud of Havana harbor.
Briefly, the newest plan is based
upon system of pneumatic caissons,
such as have made possible the build
ing of extremely deep foundations
under water and which contributes
largely to the success of building of
tunnels like that of the Hudson No
divers are used and the pontoon sys-
tenn is put completely aside.
The method proposed is to swing
the Maine in a cradle of powerful
cables and lift her completely out of
the water where complete inspec-
ton of her hull will be possible.
While the ship is suspended above
water Mr.. O'Rourke declares she can
be repaired as readily as if she were
in a dry dock and after being re-
launched from the cable cradle can
leave Havana harbor under her own
steam. This is said to be the first
plan yet proposed which would pre-
sent the ship to a naval board in pre-
cisely the same condition as she was
when sunk on the night of February
Is, 1898. To raise her with pontoons
construction, experts say, would
mean to work upon her hull under
water and to float her with compress
ed air would disturb conditions be-
tween decks.
First wharf of piles would be
built on either side of the submerged
wreck. Then between the wharves
and the hull twelve pneumatic Gals
sons would be sunk, six on each side.
Practical tunnel building operations
will be employed thereafter and a
hundred little tunnels would be
driven through the mud under the
keel Of the Maine between the OPP

| had never mentioned my name in
connection with this incident until
twenty years afterwards when brave
Billy Barry of the Fourth Texas, now
at Navasota, related to me the scene
as he witnessed it, and asked me for
my recollection of it, We remem-
shot down and witnessed the whole
thing as he lay on the ground. Please
communicate with him at Navasota.
You will also find a sketch of it in
Mrs. Dinkler's history of Hoods bri-
gade.
General Gregg and I talked about
this the evening after the battle. We
both saw it alike. He told me then
the act of the brigade would find a
place in history.
The men who caught General Lees
horse are entitled to nothing more
of this act than those who did not.
Every man would have done so if he
could. I have always spoken of it as
the act of the Texas brigade, feeling
amply paid by being a member Of
Hoods brigade.
At the unwilling Of the Lee monu-
ment in Richmond, Va, I met a son
of General Lee and we talked about
the incident. His father had spoken
to him about it. General Lee said it
brought tears to his eyes when he
saw men willing to face death if he
would go to a place of safety.

pOSite caiSSOnS. Through each tun-
mel six-inch steel cable would be
run and each end would be run up
the outside of the caisson to the
wharf above, SO there would be
steel cable under the hull every four
feet. and the aggregate of all would
be calculated to be capable of raising
four times the weight of the wreck,
which is about 1000 tons.
Each cable end would be attached
to a system of steel screw rods and
the screw-back principle would be
employed. In THIS plan the war de-
partmept would be asked for a thou
sand men to operate the hand screws
and by every man turning lever at
given signal it is planned to pull
the hulk up in the cradle of cables in
practically the same way as. the pyra-
mids Of Egypt are supposed to have
been built by man power Once
swung above the water line the gap
between the wharves would be
bridged and the engineers would
work under and around the hull
When repaired she could be laid
down into the water by reversal
of the process by which she was
raised.
Mr.. O'Rourke expressed the opin-
ion to Mr.. Oliver that the job could
be done in three months. Mr.. Oliver
and General Bixby examined the plan
in minute detail. Mr.. O'Rourke was
assured as to one condition, that,
should an army board pass favorably
on the project, his patents in the ap-
paratus would be protected.

Battle Of the Wilderness will

interest tc many old-timers:
Jackson, Miss, Nov. 20, 1897.
Mr.. Egbert S. Sessions, late of the
Fourth Texas Regiment, Rice,
Texas
Dear Comrade:-Your letter of
to reply. To begin, think remem-
Der every incident connected with the
Battle of the Wilderness from the
time We were aroused from our slum-
bers about $3.50 a. M, to the close Of
the battle. We were hurried to the
point, and the last mile and half at
a run as fast as heavy infantry could
be moved We marched on one side of
the road and HUMPHREYS, formerly
Barksdale's Mississippi brigade, on
the other, moving parallel. We filed
to the left, north of the road, passed
through a field hospital in which was
a heap of amputated arms and legs
lost in battle the day before, May 5,
passed on and soon came to an old
aband oned field, partly grown up in
pine bushes, here few pieces of ar
tillery were in position. AS we press
ed forward, have never heard such
a shout, as we saw General Lee,
mounted upon his splendid horse, ap-
pearing warrior where every God
had set the seal, with his glittering
staff in the wake, the gates of the
morning at the instant opened, the
sunlight glinted the tops of the virgin
forest, revealed the grey smoke of
the artillery. Men were falling, the
air was rent with the thunder of can
non. The scene was at once beauti-
full from surrounding nature, and ter
rible in the wrath of men. We were
hurried into position. The left of
the First Texas rested on the right
Of the Fourth, a small interval be-
tween them. Through this opening
General Gregg rode and said in
loud voice that "the eyes of General
Lee were upon us, and would lead
the charge" Just then General Lee
rode into the same opening between
the First and Fourteenth. I was on
the left of the First and as General
Gregg made the announcement,
looked around and saw General Lee
in ten feet of the spot where I was,
moving forward on his iron-grey
horse, Traveller Bullets were flying,
men were falling, and every man
knew that something terrible and
desperate was at hand. [ ran to Gen.
eral Lee and caught his horse by the
bride rein. About the same instant
Whit Randle caught the rein on the
other side of the horse and Gross
Lawrence raised his hand in the face
of the horse as if to stop him. About
six or eight men from both regi
ments rushed to General Lee for the
same purpose, but all could not get
hands on him. They formed a living
barrier to stop his further progress.
A simultaneous shout went up from
every man who saw General Lee ex-
posing himself, go back, General
Lee! Go back General Lee! Lee to
the rear!" and kept this up for some
time. Traveller became restless, and
General Lee, with the tears stream
ing down his cheeks, patted him on
his shoulder to quiet him and said,
charge them, then" General Lee
then rode to the right toward the top
of the hill and General Gregg led the
charge. I did not know Grace Darl-
ing. 1t may have been he who caught
the other rein of the bride or who
